Sacrament of First Eucharist

This coming weekend many Year 4 students will receive the Sacrament of First Eucharist. We ask the school community to keep the Communicants in their thoughts and prayers. We invite you all to come along and join us for this special and sacred celebration.

The students at Mercy College have kept our First Eucharist candidates in their prayers and thoughts as they prepare to celebrate the Sacrament of First Eucharist. The college girls have personally made a prayer card for each of our students. On behalf of St Raphael's school community, we would like to thank their principal, Ms Lila McInerney and the Mercy community.

Baptism-Victor Massey

The school and parish community congratulates Victor Massey (Yr 4 student) who last Sunday was baptised. A beautiful service was led by our Spiritual Leader- Fr Simon and seeing Victor being initiated into God's family was a joyful experience.  Our blessings go out to him and his family as he begins this faith filled journey.
