Liturgy

Community Mass

Thank you to the Year 11 Pilgrimage students who beautifully prepared the readings for today’s special Community Mass. A special thanks also to Secondary Homeroom Leaders who gathered so early – at 7:30am – to take part in the annual Procession of Palms and then lead a ‘virtual’ Holy Week Reflection in their homerooms. Your leadership is greatly appreciated!

 

We look forward to resuming Community Mass after the holidays, on Friday 29 April, with students in Year 7.

 

Community Mass details:

  • College Chapel
  • Fridays in term time
  • Starts: 8:00am and concludes 8:30am 

Farewell Fr Rodrigo

We are very sad to announce that Fr Rodrigo has been transferred to work as assistant priest in the parish of Midland. Clearly, he is unable to continue his work as loved chaplain here at John XXIII College. Students and staff alike will miss Fr Rodrigo’s youth and humour – as well as his prayerful celebration of the liturgy.

 

The College is currently in the process of engaging a new chaplain, and an announcement will be made once finalised. 

SACRAMENT PROGRAM

‘Family-focused, parish-based, Catholic school supported’

 

Parents of students in Years 3, 4 and 6

Students will be preparing for the sacrament of Reconciliation (Year 3), Holy Communion (Year 4) and Confirmation (Year 6). This time of preparation is joyfully shared by families, parishes and schools. 

 

Sacraments are celebrated in parishes – usually the parish you consider your ‘home’ parish. It is important to ‘enrol’ in the parish program, even for families in Catholic schools, as parishes need to plan ahead for these events. 

 

Enrolment details for parishes of Cottesloe/Mosman Park, City Beach, Doubleview and Subiaco may be found here. 

 

Alternatively, contact the Parish Priest or Sacrament Coordinator in your own home parish.
