Education in Faith
Education in Faith encompasses the following areas: Religious Education, Prayer, Liturgy and Sacraments.
Lord, we ask that you lift us up and keep us faithful in friendship to one another,
which your healing purposes may shine through this broken, beloved world.
In your holy name, we pray.
AMEN.
The centrepiece of this fifth week of our Lenten retreat is the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead.
As people of faith, we begin to prepare ourselves for Holy Week. Holy Week is the most important week in the Church's year. It is a time when we celebrate the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. We remember his actions, reflect on his messages and recommit to living as his disciples in the world today. During this time, we gather to reflect and acknowledge Jesus' love for us and how he spent his final days on earth. As we begin celebrating the events of Holy Week, we ask that you take the time and opportunity to spend time with your family recalling Jesus’ love for us.
As a Catholic school community, our children will be given the opportunity to engage in re-enacting the events of Holy Week. We invite you to attend these special events, which will take place in St Fidelis Church.

Buddy Mass
Thank you to all the children and staff who attended the Buddy mass on Sunday. Seeing all our children and their families attend this special celebration was great.

Thank you to all the families that have kindly donated to the project compassion. This worthy cause assists people living in poverty. We ask that all project compassion moneyboxes are returned to school.
