Welcome everyone to what we pray will be a healthy and blessed year.
I trust your Christmas was a happy one and you have had an opportunity to spend time with family and friends. Something we should never take for granted, especially in our contemporary world.
During my time at St Therese’s, I have tried to commence each year with a motto. In the past I have prevailed with ‘Staying courageous’ and ‘Growing in gratitude and empathy’. This year I am endeavouring with the motto; Nurture and Grow.
The staff commenced the year with a prayer liturgy which encompassed this theme alongside the parable of the Mustard Seed. It is the use of this parable and the power behind the smallest of seeds, when nurtured, grows into the most majestic of trees. We can use this as an analogy for our own lives, be it a personal or professional journey. I invite you to also take on this motto for 2022.
Sacramental Program 2022
At St Therese, we participate in the St Agatha’s Parish Sacramental Program. As such, the program is Parish based, School supported and Family centred.
At present, the 2022 Sacramental Program sent to you late last year is going ahead as scheduled.
Please find it attached below for your reference. Please place the dates into your diary.
Sacrament of Reconciliation
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is the first Sacrament we prepare and celebrate in Term One.
Families who intend their children to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation need to ensure students are in Year 3 or above, have been baptised and understand the difference between right and wrong.
The Reconciliation Information and Parent Workshops occur very early in the term. Please attend ONE of the following workshops (students do not need to attend this workshop):
- Wednesday 9th February 2022 at 7p.m
- Wednesday 16th February 2022 at 7p.m
Lots of information and enrollment documents are shared at the workshops. Both workshops will be held in the St Agatha’s Church. Please adhere to COVID protocols and sign in using the QR Code, wear a mask and have your Digital Vaccination Certificate ready to be viewed by the COVID Marshals.
If you have any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact me via phone 5996 7525 or email using the following address: mhinds@sttcbourne.catholic.edu.au
Be nurtured and grow.
