EDUCATION IN FAITH

Celebrating Mother's Day Mass at Saint Joseph's

 

On Sunday the Junior Classes hosted a beautiful celebration of Mothers, and all of those people who do the job of Mothers, at Mass at Saint Joseph's. Many school families attended and joined in on the readings, offertory processions, attending the altar and of course the singing. We thank Father Stephen and the Saint Joseph's Choir for supporting us on this very special occassions. Thanks also to the teachers and staff who attended and help to prepare the children for Mass.  As a faith based community it is wonderful to see so many people who ensure they are present for these special occassions. 

Happy Mothers Day everyone!

 

Sacrament of First Eucharist

 

The Sacrament of First Eucharist will be celebrated at Saint Joseph's Church on Saturday 4th of June at 5.30pm. The Year 4 children are peparing in class through the Religious Education program and working with Fiona. If your child is wanting to participate in this Sacrament and you have not previously notified the school we ask that you do so ASAP, so that they are included in the extra instructions relevant to receiving the Sacrament. As always any questions or concerns please contact me at anytime.
