Reflections on Faith 

With lockdown restrictions easing for holiday time, it is the perfect opportunity to spend time with family and friends who we have been apart over the last month, or even longer depending on locations. I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday and we are able to resume school in full in term 4. 

With the easing of restrictions, Confirmation and First Holy Communion candidates have received communication from Father Gleeson! It is anticipated that students will receive these sacraments in Term 4. Families are asked to contact Father Gleeson to negotiate dates and times for the receival of these sacraments.

Below are some Blessings written by Stage 3 students throughout remote learning.

God, please help those who are lonely because of COVID, bless those who have COVID and help them and their families to cope. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

May God bless Australia  and all the people in it. May he bless the people who are sick and those in need. May he bless Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, ACT, Northern Territory, Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland. Bless our traditional owners, sites and landmarks. May God bless our native creatures of Australia and keep all our animals safe.
