Remembrance Month

In a very special way the month of November is dedicated to the memory of our deceased family members and friends, and all who have gone before us. 

Beginning with All Saints Day and All Souls Day, and continuing throughout the month, we hold in prayer those who have died.

To mark the special way that the Catholic tradition responds to death, St Bede’s College has a Perpetual Memorial Book that will be kept in the Chapel as an invitation to others to join you in praying for your deceased relatives and friends. 

Please forward the name/s of any family member or friend to Ria Greene (rgg@stbedes.catholic.edu.au ) that you would like to have added to the book.

Please note – if you have added names before then there is no need to submit them again as it is a Perpetual Book.

Vinnies Christmas Hampers

There are many people in our local community who struggle to make ends meet on a day-to-day basis, and for these people Christmas can be a very difficult time.  They would like to be able to celebrate the way many of us do, but they don’t have the money to do so.  So we want to do something about that!  Through each Homeroom / Tutor Group students have been asked to assemble a hamper of practical and celebratory items that will make a difference in the lives of those in need this Christmas. 

All items need to be donated by: Friday 9th November (Years 10 and 11) or Friday 16 November (Years 7, 8 and 9)

The Hampers will be handed over to local St Vincent de Paul for distribution to families in our neighbourhoods who are in need.

Thank you for your continued support.
