Education in Faith

Sacrament of First Eucharist

Congratulations to our Year 4 students who made the Sacrament of First Eucharist on Sunday the 4th June at Ss. Peter and Paul in South Melbourne. It was a beautiful celebration. The students were very well prepared and excited about marking their faith journey with this important step of initiation into the Church community. We could not be more proud of our Year 4 students and wish them every blessing as they endeavor to to live a Eucharistic life.  Thank you to Fr. Julian and Fr. Dean for preparing the students and making the Sacrament a special occasion for them. 

We look forward to celebrating with the rest of the Year 4 students on June 17th at Our Lady of Mount Carmel as they receive the Sacrament of First Eucharist for the first time. We wish these students every blessing as they continue to prepare for the opportunity to receive such a special gift from God.

First Eucharist Reflection Day at Galilee

On Monday 26th May students from Year 4 and the Parish who are preparing to receive the Sacrament of First Eucharist gathered in the Galilee School Hall for a Reflection Day. Students participated in a range of hands on activities that were linked to their learning. Students made scones and linked it to their learning about the Last Supper and the Mass. Students performed a play of the Good Samaritan and linked it to their learning of living Eucharistically and students learned more about the signs and symbols used during the Liturgy of the Eucharist. After recess students participated in the Parish Mass and returned to the hall for a Question and Answer session with Fr. Dean. In the afternoon students created beautiful artworks that helped to decorate the Church during Sunday's celebration. 

The day was a success thanks to Mrs. Burns, Ms. Giles, Mrs Grillo and Fr. Dean who organised and facilitated the day. 

Galilee Social Justice Leaders want your help to CAN Hunger

This winter Galilee will be fundraising to CAN Hunger. We will be helping those in need by collecting non-perishable foods such as canned food. Any donations can be placed into the boxes in each classroom. Each week your Social Justice Leader will collect the cans that you have donated. We are going to keep a tally of the number of cans each class has brought in. We will share the results at assembly. We hope that this keeps you motivated.

What: Galilee Canned Food Drive

When: Monday 5th June - Friday 30th June

Where: Place non-perishable food in the box in your classroom

Why: To help those in need

On the last day of term we will be celebrating The Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus as a whole school by going to Mass. The Feast of the Sacred Heart celebrates the love of Christ for all mankind. The  Mass will mark the final day to bring in cans.
