First Eucharist

We congratulate all the Grade 3 and 4 students who received Eucharist for the first time. 

Advent

Week 3 (Sunday 12 December) – Joy

God of Joy, We patiently and joyfully wait for the birth of Jesus, for the start of something wonderful! May we share joy with our friends and global family. We pray for all those around the world who struggle to have enough to eat and we ask for the strength to continue supporting them and working for a fairer world. May we celebrate with joy as we approach Christmas, In your name we pray, Amen.

 

 

Week 4 (Sunday 19 December) – Love

God, Thank you for always loving us. As we get closer to the celebration of Christmas, help us to show your love to our neighbours both near and far. We pray for people who face the hardship of poverty. Inspire us to be loving every day. In your name we pray,

 Amen.

 

St Vincent De Paul Giving Tree

This year we are fortunate enough to still do our annual Mini Vinnies Giving Tree. To keep safe during COVID times, we encourage families to bring in gift cards this year, instead of presents like we have done in the past. The gift cards are for children aged 1-17 years old in our community who are less fortunate than us. 

 

We will begin this season with a bare Christmas tree and add the vouchers as they are donated to the front office. We hope that enough families donate to make the tree full of vouchers!

 

Some great voucher ideas are:

  • Teen girl/boy voucher
  • Rebel Sport voucher
  • Kmart/Big W/Target voucher
  • JB-Hi Fi voucher
  • Food voucher
  • Westfield voucher
  • Movie voucher

We ask that all voucher donations are brought in by the last day of school - Wednesday 15 December. Thank you in advance!
