Father's Day 2021
Catholic Mission
This year, students across Australia will learn about the missionary work of the Good Shepherd Sisters in Thailand who, through their Kindergarten Centre, are bringing about generational change to some of the poorest communities in Bangkok. The Socktober program utilises the Head, Heart, Hands framework to help students think deeply about why they are participating and raising funds for missionary works.
Through the rich resources and learning pathways developed for Socktober by Catholic Mission, students first get their heads around the reality of children in developing countries.
Our 360 virtual reality experiences, first-hand storytelling from partners, and formation activities throughout Socktober fill students’ hearts with love and compassion for the people we are supporting.
This compels us to use our hands to take action. We pray, advocate for and financially support children in need, in whatever way we can.
Online Mass options
Whilst we continue to learn from home due to restrictions, Fr Vince is continuing to celebrate Mass privately. He is continually praying for the safety and welfare of all St Joseph's School community and the wider community.
If you would like to celebrate Mass in the comfort of your own homes, the link to the Youtube channel for the Diocese of Armidale Cathedral Mass is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqXeOeOKWuiCYm3_w402sfg
God bless,
