Father’s Day Breakfast & Mass – Friday, 4th September 

We’re excited to invite all dads, grandads, and father figures to our annual Father’s Day Breakfast on Friday, 4th September! It’s a wonderful way to start the day together and celebrate the special role fathers play in our lives. 

Breakfast kicks off at 8:00am, so swing by for a delicious egg and bacon roll and some great company. It's a relaxed and friendly morning, and a coffee van will be available if you'd like to purchase a hot drink. We'd love to see you there! 

Following breakfast, we’ll gather for a Father’s Day Mass with our Foundation to Year 2 students, a chance to reflect, give thanks, and celebrate the gift of family and faith. 

We hope you can join us for this special morning – it’s one of the highlights of our school year!

Memorial Service  

On Friday 6th November at 11:45 am, we will hold our Memorial Ceremony at the Memorial Garden. During the ceremony, we will remember and pray for our loved ones who have died and will always hold a special place in our hearts. All are invited to join us for the ceremony. 

We ask our school families to please contact Dave Waters via email, 

dwaters@sfstrathfieldsaye.catholic.edu.au by Friday 18th September, if they have a family member that has passed away and they would like them to be considered for inclusion on the Memorial Wall.  

Eligibility for the Memorial Wall  

1. Present and past staff  
2. Immediate family of a child whilst enrolled in the school.  
3. Present students and their siblings and past students.  
4. Families of St Francis of the Fields School can have their loved ones included retrospectively in keeping with 1, 2 and 3.  

Families who have had loved ones die in the past twelve months or represented on the Memorial Wall will be invited to the Remembrance Liturgy.  

A period of 12 months for grieving and reflection is recommended before a plaque will be placed on the wall.
