It’s a wonderful opportunity for children to lead their families in prayer, celebrate their learning, and experience the joy of coming together as a school community. These nights create lasting memories and help strengthen the connection between home, school, and faith.

Sacrament of Confirmation
Congratulations to all our Year 6 students on their Sacrament of Confirmation! It was wonderful to see their preparation and faith come to life, celebrated in the breathtaking St. Patrick’s Cathedral in the city.
Students have brought home a photo slip to order the professional photo taken at the end of the Sacrament. Envelopes will be collected by the photography company on Monday, 13th October.
Gospel Reflection - Sunday 12th of October
Gospel Reading
Jesus heals 10 lepers, and one, the Samaritan, returns to give thanks.
👨👩👧👦 Family Connection
- Read the story together from a children’s Bible or online.
- Take some time as a family to reflect on the story of the ten lepers — and how only one returned to thank Jesus. Talk together about how we can remember to say “thank you” to God and others each day.
- Create a 'Family Gratitude Poster' on a large piece of paper,. Write “Thank You, God, for…” in the centre. Around it, draw or write all the blessings your family is grateful for; big and small! These might include people, experiences, talents, or special moments.
- Once finished, display your poster somewhere you’ll see it every day.
🙏 Pray together as a Family
Loving God,
We thank You for all the blessings You give us each day. For our family, friends, and the love we share, for the food we eat, the home we live in, and the beauty of creation. Help us to be like the one who returned to thank Jesus, always grateful and ready to show kindness to others. May our hearts be filled with joy and thankfulness in all we do.
Amen
May God bless,
