Sacrament of Confirmation

Last Wednesday evening our Year 5/6 Confirmation candidates and their families gathered at the parish for a special Prayer Evening. It was a lovely opportunity for families to engage in prayer, conversation and activities together in preparation for their child’s next milestone in their faith journey.

Grandparents and Grand Friend Day Mass
This Friday Kindergarten will lead our school community in celebrating our Grandparent and Grand Friend Day Mass. Mass is held in the St Benedict’s Church from 10:00am. Families are warmly invited to join us for this liturgical celebration. Morning tea will be provided by the families of students in Kindergarten. Parents and guests are invited to stay after Mass for morning tea in the school hall. Parents of the hosting class are welcome to bring their child along to the morning tea.

Grandparents and Grand Friend Blessing

Loving God,

Bless all grandparents and Grand Friends in the lives of our children.

May they heed your call to share their wisdom and faith with us.

May they have courage and confidence to hand on your gifts of experience and knowledge, of stories, songs and memories.

May they continue to learn and grow with us day by day.

Bless them with length of days and joy at the last.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Community Meals Program
The Community Meals freezer is one way we can assist families who are experiencing hardship. If you are able to cook a meal, please use disposable containers and label with ingredients and date. All meal donations can be brought to the Front Office. If your family requires temporary meal assistance, you can speak in confidence to any of our staff members.

Volunteers Needed

On the last day of Term 3 we will be hosting our school Global School Partnership Day. On this day we celebrate our friendship with our Global School partnership school Gesore Preparatory, in Kenya, by learning about their school, culture and traditions. We are seeking volunteers who are either of African descent or who have worked/lived in Africa. If you are not able to volunteer your time, please still get in contact, as we would still appreciate your input. Email natalie.zarb@cg.catholic.edu.au
