Family and Faith

Happy Easter to all!

Thank you to the parents, children and parishioners who attended the Stations of the Cross at OLF and Woronora Memorial Park. It was a beautiful way to reflect and pray at the Stations remembering the special events of Holy Week and relate these events to our own lives. Here are only two photos because I was in the moment and forgot to take more photos of all the participants!

Pascha Prayer Pack Cards 

I hope families enjoy using the Pascha Prayer Pack Cards that were sent home with the youngest student last Friday. The Year 6 students participating in the Pope Francis Awards Program were a great help in assembling the packs during their lunchtimes and free time. 

Thank you Year 6 for your kindness and service! If your family did not receive a Prayer Pack please email me.

Wishing all our families a joyous Easter celebrating the Risen Lord.

Easter Blessings.

Here is a sneak peek of upcoming events for Term 2! It’s going to be big!
