Education in Faith

Holy Week 

This week our students presented the Holy Week. They were all beautiful, meaningful and reverent celebrations. Thank you to all our grade 1-5 students and their teachers for their thoughtful preparation. When we return, after the holidays, classes will celebrate Alleluia day with their buddies.

Class Masses Term 2

Next term we will continue with Wednesday class masses. These are held in the Chapel at 9:15 am. Families are warmly invited to join classes for these Masses. Tea and and coffee is available after Mass in the Parish house. We do ask that you don't bring coffee into the Church or Chapel.

Project Compassion

Our annual fundraising for Project Compassion has come to an end Thank you to our generous familes.

Draw us forth, God of all creation.

Draw us forward and away from limited certainty into the immense world of your love.

Give us the capacity to even for a moment taste the richness of the feast you give us.

Give us the peace to live with uncertainty, with questions, with doubts.

Help us to experience the resurrection anew with open wonder and an increasing ability to see you in the people of Easter.

Amen.

Parish Levy

Thank you to those families who have already supported the parish with payment of the Levy. If your child is making a sacrament this year you will not be required to make further payment as the Parish Levy covers the cost of the sacrament.

If you have paid the levy you will be able to select your Eucharist Date immediately. 

The amount of the levy is $200 per family per year and is not charged if you are already participating in the Parish Stewardship Programme. If you wish to join that programme, please contact the Parish office.  This levy is consistent with other parishes and schools and is designed to make contributions to the Parish more streamlined. Here is the link:
