Religious Education
'Religious Education enables learners to encounter God in their lives and to articulate what this means, in an environment that welcomes multicultural and multi-faith world views.'
EUCHARIST CELEBRATION
The word 'communion' means to be united with; Catholics believe that in Holy Communion we are united in a special way with Jesus Christ.
At his last supper, Jesus said of the bread that he shared among his followers, "Take and eat, this is my body." When we receive Holy Communion, Catholics believe that in a mysterious way we are sharing in the body and blood of Christ.
Holy Communion and the whole celebration is also known as Eucharist, from a Greek word meaning 'thanksgiving'. First Eucharist is a special occasion - a further step in becoming one with Christ and united with the People of God.
As a school we would like to congratulate the students in Year 4 who received the Sacrament of the Eucharist last weekend. The students were excellent representatives for our school at the celebration and they were both prayerful and reverent.
