YEAR SIX CONFIRMATION REFLECTION DAY AT AMBERLEY

On Monday 21 October, all Year Six students from St Francis Xavier and Holy Trinity, will be travelling by bus to Amberley for their Confirmation Reflection Day. On this day, the students come together and reflect on what their Confirmation can mean for them in their own choices and actions. It will be a casual clothes day for all Year Six Children.

PREP 2020 WELCOME MASSES

On the weekend of November 9 and 10, we welcome our new Prep children and their families to our school-parish community at the Saturday 6pm and Sunday 10:30am Masses. 

These Masses are dedicated to our new Prep children from both St Francis Xavier and Holy Trinity schools. They are celebrations, complete with balloons and stories that are a wonderful way for the children to begin building their own connections with the church and the school. 

We welcome and encourage all 2020 Prep families to come along to one of the Masses and be part of this celebration.

CLASS MASSES

An important and much loved part of our RE Program at St Francis Xavier has always been the Class Masses. The children enjoy being able to share this special celebration with their friends and family. Class Masses will be at 9.10am and will take place either in the classroom or the church.

Our last Class Mass for the year will be our Year Six Children on Thursday October 31
