Sacrament of Reconciliation - Year Three 

As our Year Three students continue to prepare for their Sacrament of Reconciliation

(Penance), they are reminded that we are all part of Jesus’ flock and whilst we may sometimes stray from him in the choices that we make, He will always forgive us and gather us back to the flock.

Please pray for our Year Three students.

Confirmation Congratulations 

Congratulations to all of our Year 6 students who received the Sacrament of Confirmation Friday 28th August. We are incredibly proud of them and pray that the gifts of the Holy Spirit continue to guide them as they grow in faith and into the young people they are becoming.

We give thanks to parents, teachers, sponsors, Bishop Thinh and Father Vinh who have been an important part of the Year 6 students' journey and preparation for this sacrament.
