3/4 Family Mass Saturday August 13th @5pm
The 3/4 Students and Families will be having their family mass this weekend. Some students will be saying the prayers of the faithful and bringing up the offertory. It is always a great opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate mass.
The Gospel for Saturday is
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke
I have come not to give peace, but discord.
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘I have come to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were blazing already! There is a baptism I must still receive, and how great is my distress till it is over!
‘Do you suppose that I am here to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. For from now on a household of five will be divided: three against two and two against three; the father divided against the son, son against father, mother against daughter, daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.’
Feast of the Assumption
Monday 15 August the 5/6 students will be going to mass to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. On this Feast, Catholics traditionally celebrate Mary going to heaven. The tradition is that 'God took Mary, body and soul, to heaven after her life on earth had come to an end'.

Journeying Together
Sacrament preparation for families booklet
https://sacraments.melbournecatholic.org/
Journeying Together covers the sacraments most commonly celebrated with primary-school-aged children - Reconciliation (Penance), Eucharist, and Confirmation. This resource will complement your child’s sacrament preparation at their Catholic primary school or in a parish catechetical setting.
Each sacrament module includes four sessions. Each session includes an invitation to explore and integrate the family’s lived experience with concepts from Scripture, the Church and the sacraments, along with opportunities to pray together.
We hope that by opening this opportunity, many will encounter Jesus and engage with their faith in a fresh and meaningful way.
