St Brigid's Parish Bulletin - 30th July 2023

To celebrate St Mary MacKillop's Feast Day on the 8th of August, the students can wear Mufti clothes for a gold coin donation. We will commemorate St Mary MacKillop by attending Mass at 9.30am. The children will also participate in a colouring competition. 

We are raising money for the children of Timor-Leste. By donating a gold coin we will keep Mary’s life-changing legacy alive. Today, many people are still unable to break the cycle of poverty because they can’t access education. The vital funds our school raises will support the Mobile Learning Centre bus and outreach vehicles to reach remote areas with fun learning resources, such as books, musical instruments, and arts and craft activities. St Joseph's School will support young children like Maia in Timor-Leste to access quality education. 

The Sacrament of Confirmation will be celebrated on Sunday, 22nd October at 9.30am.
