Project Compassion Fundraiser - Purple Day
On Friday 4th April, we are having a fundraiser for Project Compassion. Students are invited to wear purple for a small donation. A sausage sizzle will be provided for lunch and the Junior Joeys will hold some lunchtime activities around the theme 'The Long Walk for Water'.
Sacramental Programme
The Application Forms are now available at the school office and in ALL the Mass Centres.
Applications are due to the Parish Office or to the School Office BEFORE 10th April 2025.
Receiving the sacraments is a special time in our journey of faith, and it is the means by which baptised children can complete their journey into full membership of the Catholic Church. They are community events, which remind us of the role of the community in our faith life.
Baptism is the first of three Sacraments of Initiation and one you have chosen for your child. Our sacramental programme offers parents a convenient process to enable the reception of further sacraments for their child.
The gift of God's Holy Spirit which the children received in Baptism is strengthened in the Sacrament of Confirmation, and the children complete their initiation with the reception of first Holy Communion - a public declaration that they are now fully a part of this community, this "Communion" of God's family. The programme itself strives to help them grow into a church community, and feel a real sense of belonging to the wider Family of God.
Thank you,
