Sorry Day and National Reconciliation Week
Each year our country celebrates Sorry Day, 26TH May and National Reconciliation Week. National Reconciliation Week is from the 27th May to 3rd June. It is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.
2023 marks a significant year for the reconciliation movement, and this year’s theme, ‘Be a Voice for Generations’, urges all Australians to use their power, their words and their vote to create a better, more just Australia for all of us. The 2023 theme calls on all Australians to act today.
On Friday 26th May, St Michael’s school community recognised these events with a whole school liturgy led by Year 6.
World Environment Day
Each year on the 5th June we celebrate World Environment Day. This day is a United Nations Environment-led global event and is celebrated by thousands of communities worldwide. Since it began in 1972, it has grown to become a global platform for people to voice their concerns for our planet and encourage others to help. Most of all, World Environment Day is a day for everyone around the world to take ownership of their environment and to actively engage in the protection of our earth.
St Michael’s will gather on Monday the 5th of June and participate in a liturgy.
Stage 2 Combined Schools Mass
This Sunday we celebrate the Holy Trinity. As part of our Parish celebration Stage 2 (Year 3 and Year 4) will participate in a variety of roles from reading, offertory to leading the singing with our combined schools liturgy group. It will be a wonderful celebration, and all are welcome to attend.
Feast Day of Corpus Christi
On the 8th of June, as a combined Parish, the two Parish schools will join to celebrate as one the Feast Day of Corpus Christi. It will be a wonderful celebration, and all are welcome to attend.
