Jubilee Visit:

2025 is a Jubilee Year, a special time in the Church for prayer and renewal, it happens every 25 years. Jubilees have a theme. The theme this year is Pilgrims of Hope. Last week the students of St Michael’s had the opportunity to visit the Church and learn about some very special things in our Church: cathedrals, cathedra, the Bishop and relics. Students learned about these items and understood how they are important parts of our faith, helping us understand our Church's history. 

Donations for St Vincent de Paul Christmas Hamper

The St Vincent de Paul Society does a lot of great work assisting people and families in need in our local community. One of the things they do each year is provide families in need a helping hand at Christmas time with a food hamper. As we approach Christmas, we are looking to share the joy of Christmas with families and support the work of St Vincent de Paul by collecting food to create Christmas Hampers in our local area. 

Please help us make Christmas a special time for all by donating nonperishable foods that families can enjoy over the Christmas season. These may include festive foods such as Christmas puddings, candy canes, salsa, chips, biscuits, chocolates and lollies…as well as foods that families can use to create a meal such as flour, sugar, pasta, rice, tins of soup, jelly, powdered custard and gravy… and long-life juices and soft drinks…  

Please send in all donations by Friday, 5 December, so that Vinnies have a chance to package and deliver them before Christmas.
