Embrace hope, deepen our faith, and draw closer to God.

                                 Year of Jubilee

2025 is the Year of Jubilee - Pilgrims of Hope. Pope Francis has said that; 'Whether through local pilgrimage, community events, or spiritual acts at home, all are invited to be part of this remarkable journey of renewal and trust in the Gospel of Christ'. He also officially declared 2025 a Year of Jubilee with a papal bull, titled “Spes Non Confudit,” meaning “Hope Does Not Disappoint.” The Jubilee Year began with the opening of the Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica on Christmas Eve 2024.

The Holy Father has announced that 2025 will be a Jubilee Year, something which happens every 25 years. The theme for Jubilee 2025 is “Pilgrims of Hope,” and it will be a year of hope for a world suffering the impacts of war, the ongoing effects of COVID-19 pandemic, and the climate crisis.

 

Our staff and students will be engaging in a number of learning opportunities around this very special occasion.

 

Sacramental Timetable

The 2025 Sacramental Timetable was shared with the school community late last year. It has also been attached here for your reference.

 

 

This year will see the Sacraments delivered in a different order: 

  • Term 1 Reconciliation
  • Term 2 First Communion
  • Term 3 Confirmation

Reconciliation Parent Child Workshops will be held in the St Agatha'a Hall and are scheduled for:

  • Weds 26th Feb 2025 at 5:00p.m & 7:00pm 
  • Thurs 27th Feb 2025 at 7:00pm

Only ONE of these workshops needs to be attended by parents/carers and the children. Please remember to ask your children to bring along a special item of their choice to the workshop. This will be used as part of our discussion.

 

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Stay courageous & hopeful.
