Liturgy

Community Mass

Thank you to our group of Year 10s who prepared Community Mass this morning.  Each week a year group or House takes responsibility for proclaiming the readings and leading the prayer. Next week it will be students from Year 8. Everyone is invited – and new parents are especially welcome, as are families of Year 8 students. Just come to the Chapel at 8:00am. Mass finishes at 8:30am, in time for the start of Homeroom. 

 

Some families make the decision to attend Mass more frequently as part of their Lenten journey.  The Church has given us a rich selection of Scripture to proclaim in liturgies during the season of Lent. All are welcome, whether or not you are Catholic or a regular church-goer.  The fellowship continues in the Circle of Friends Café for parents who are able to stay for a coffee.

SACRAMENT PROGRAM

Do you have a child in Years 3, 4 or 6?

Do you have a child currently in Year 3, 4 or 6? In their Religious Education classes, students will be preparing for the sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation. While the students will learn the appropriate content at school, they celebrate the sacraments with their family in their parishes. 

 

Have you enrolled your child in a parish sacrament program?

Parents are encouraged to enrol their child, as soon as possible, in their parish – usually, but not necessarily, the parish closest to home. Most parishes are beginning their programs at this time, and it is essential to enrol your child in advance. 

 

How to enrol

Contact the parish: the parish secretary, the sacrament coordinator or the parish priest. Parish contact details are available here.  The College provides information from some of our local parishes. It is the parents’ right and responsibility to follow up with enrolling their child in the parish.
