Religious Education Update

CLASS MASS

Below is the timetable for Term 1 Class Masses. We would love parents and carers to join us for Friday morning Mass.

EUCHARIST28

Last Sunday, Eucharist28 was launched. As we know, Sydney will host the 54th International Eucharistic Congress in 2028. Held every four years, the International Eucharistic Congress is expected to draw tens of thousands of faithful Catholics from across the globe to Sydney. Catholic Archbishop of Sydney Most Rev. Anthony Fisher OP has said that this will be the largest gathering held on Australian shores since World Youth Day 2008, “The International Eucharistic Congress is a joyous occasion that will deepen our understanding of the truth of the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist."

On Monday, our classes read the Eucharistic Congress Prayer in preparation for this exciting event. Please view the website for more information - https://eucharist28.org/

FAMILY PARISH MASS

A sincere thank you to all the families who joined us for our Family Parish Mass last Saturday. It was a wonderful opportunity to come together in faith, share in a beautiful celebration, and enjoy a delicious pizza dinner afterward.

BAPTISM CELEBRATION

This past weekend was a truly joyful moment in the life of our school community as two of our students Zara (Year 5) and Cameron (Kindergarten) took an important step in their faith journey through baptism. Surrounded by family, friends, they publicly affirmed their commitment and embraced this meaningful milestone with courage and joy.

Please join us in congratulating our newly baptised students. We are incredibly proud of them and look forward to supporting them as they flourish in God's family.

THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION

The Bishop’s office has confirmed that the Sacrament of Confirmation will take place in the Holy Family Church on June 18th at 6:00 pm. Students in Year 6 will complete the

 preparation for this sacrament in class with Mrs O'Kane and the help of Father Allan.
