Eastertide

Our school community celebrated Easter on the first day back of this term with a liturgy lead by Year 2. We remember the love, joy and peace that is gifted to us through the Easter story. The liturgical Eastertide Season continues until Pentecost.

Sacramental Program

The First Eucharist sacramental program has begun. There will be a retreat day for all Year 4 students and the students participating in the preparation for First Eucharist. This will be held on Friday 30 May. Information will be sent out to all participating families via compass.

Information for the sacraments of First Reconciliation and Confirmation will be sent out in the next week.

A New Pope

The Catholic Church has elected Cardinal Robert Francis Provost from the USA as the 267^th Pope. He has chosen the name Pope Leo XIV and his first words to the public were “peace be with all of you.” We keep our new Pope and the Church in our prayers through this time of change.

Term 2 Liturgies and Class Masses

All families are most welcome to join us for liturgies and masses held in the Church. Most classes are rostered on to attend mass with the parish during this term. Throughout the year each class will lead us in community prayer, where the whole school attends.
