Gracious God, on this day of remembrance. We pray for those who courageously laid down their lives for the cause of freedom. May the example of their sacrifice inspire in us the selfless love of your son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Bless the families of our fallen troops, and fill their homes and lives with your strength and peace. May people of goodwill in every nation answer the call to work for peace and justice, ending violence and conflict around the globe.
AMEN
FIRST HOLY COMMUNION
First Holy Communion preparation has commenced and students from Year 3 within our parish are preparing to receive the Eucharist for the first time. Each week, students complete various activities with their parents to understand the importance of the Eucharist. On Sunday, the 20th of November there will be a special Mass, at 11 am for students to receive the Eucharist.
Please keep all of these students in your prayers and thoughts over the coming weeks.
St Vincent De Paul Christmas Hamper 2022
From Monday the 21st of November to Friday the 2nd of December (Weeks 7 and 8), our school will start our annual St Vincent De Paul Christmas Appeal. This is such a special time of the year and many families struggle to be able to feed their families over this time. These donations of non-perishable food items help St Vincent De Paul support people in our community who need help over the festive period.
Please see below an item list for each Year. There are some suggestions of items for each class but you are not limited to the items.
