Opening School Mass

Thank you to all the families who attended our Opening School Mass today. It was fantastic to be back together in the Church to celebrate the induction of our school leaders with our special community.

Lent and Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday is celebrated next week and marks the beginning of Lent. Lent is a 40-day period of reflection. The number 40 occurs many times in the Bible and often references a time of repentance, reflection and waiting. During Lent we take time to reflect on our life and think about who we want to be. We often ‘give something up’ or try to focus on a positive behaviour we want to embody. What will you do this lent to reflect, grow closer to God and truly become your best self?

Ash Wednesday Mass + Parish events

We invite you to attend Ash Wednesday Mass in the Church at 9:30am on the 14^th February with our school community (there will also be a 6pm mass on Wednesday). The Parish will also be holding special evets during Lent including a Lenten Bible Study, Movie Night and Stations of the Cross. Please see the parish website for more information on these activities.

Caritas – For all future generations

Spanning across the six weeks of Lent each year, Project Compassion brings thousands of Australian schools, parishes and supporters together to raise funds for people living in some of the most vulnerable communities across the world. Your generous support can help change lives today - and For All Future Generations. There will be a box in each classroom and at the front office where students can donate money. Please see the website if you’d like to see stories of people who have been supported by Caritas through Project Compassion.
