First Eucharist Family Faith Night
It was lovely to meet with the year 4 students and their families for our Family Faith Night last week. Thank you especially to the year four teachers for supporting your students through their faith journey. We are excited for their upcoming special day! Please remember to pray for these students and their families at this time.
Pray a Novena for First Eucharist Candidates
At the following link I have shared a Novena which you might like to pray for our First Eucharist Candidates - a Novena is a special kind of prayer! Novenas are usually Nine Days long (although some can go a really long time - even a whole year!)
Pray More Novenas - Novena for First Communion

Thank you to the year 4 families that have already begun returning the forms for first Eucharist to School. If you still need to return your form or have lost your form please contact jes.earle@smstkildaeast.catholic.edu.au and Ms Earle will liaise with you.
