Our Faith Journey

Gospel Reading

Mathew 22:34-40

In this Gospel, Jesus teaches us that the most important rule of all is to love God and to love our neighbour as ourselves. Respect is how we put this rule into action every single day!

Jesus shows us that every person is special and loved by God. At St Peter’s, we follow Jesus by showing respect to everyone we meet. This means listening carefully when others are speaking, using kind and helpful words, and celebrating what makes each of us unique. When we show respect to ourselves, our friends, and our school, we are sharing God's love and making St Peter’s a wonderful place for everyone.

Who is your "neighbour"? Jesus tells us to love our neighbour as ourselves. Who is your neighbour in the classroom, on the playground, or online, and how can you show them respect today?

Year 6 Retreat Day – St Patrick’s Cathedral

As part of their preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation and their transition to secondary school, our Year 6 students will participate in a retreat day at St Patrick’s Cathedral on Friday 6 November.

The retreat will provide students with an opportunity to pause, reflect on their faith journey and deepen their relationship with God. Students will explore how the Holy Spirit can guide them as they recognise and use their gifts, make positive choices and take on new responsibilities as they prepare for the next stage of their learning journey.

The day will also include opportunities for students to explore how people from different faith traditions understand and express their relationship with God. Through reflection and discussion, students will be encouraged to develop respect and appreciation for the diverse ways people seek meaning, connection and belonging.

We look forward to providing students with this meaningful opportunity for spiritual growth, reflection and preparation as they approach the Sacrament of Confirmation and their transition to Year 7.

Grades F-2  Parish Mass 

On Sunday, 8th November, our Year F-2 students  are rostered to participate in the 9:00am Parish Mass, followed by hosting morning tea until 11:00am. This is an invitation for all students, not just the Catholic students.

This is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen the partnership between St Peter’s Primary School and St Peter’s Parish. Participation in Parish Mass is also a school and curriculum expectation, supporting the spiritual growth of our students and fostering a strong sense of Parish–School community. We kindly ask that parents accompany their children during the Mass. Please ensure students arrive by 8:50am so we are there before Mass starts.

Morning Tea

Families are warmly invited to bring a plate of food to share with parishioners. Please present your contribution on a disposable plate or in a clearly labelled container and deliver it to the parish hall before 9:00am. Kindly ensure all food is nut-free.

A sincere thank you to  Piyush Philip / Jeanette Jose and Elizabeth Torava  for generously volunteering to coordinate the morning tea. We would greatly appreciate additional parent support in the kitchen to assist with serving and cleaning up.

If you have any questions or would like to let the coordinators know what you plan to bring, please contact them directly using the details provided below. 

We look forward to gathering with our students and families for this special Parish and School celebration.

Warm regards,Ms Low, Mrs Hawkins, Mrs Wilson and Mrs De Visser
