All Saints’ Day is celebrated every year on 1st November, and is a holy day in the Catholic Church. It is a day when we celebrate all the saints of the church as well as those saints who have not yet been recognized by the church. Pope Boniface IV created All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day in 609 AD.
All Souls’ Day is celebrated the day after All Saints’ Day, which is on 2nd November every year. It is a day when we honour the dead, and pray for those who have died and not yet reached heaven.
Thank you
to everyone who donated to Year 1 CRAZY SOCK DAY to support the Catholic Missions. The money raised will go towards helping Sister Stan and the children with disability that are in her care in Ghana. Year 1 raised $222.60 with the support of all our wonderful students and family.
Parish/School Mass
Please keep in mind our Parish/School Mass on Saturday the 9th of November at 5.30pm. It would be lovely to have a large attendance of St Michael’s Families in attendance. The Liturgy group will lead the singing so it will be a joyous occasion.
Catholic Enrichment Programme
This Wednesday night (30th October, 2019) in the Parish Hall at Bowral at 7:15 pm, there will be a Catholic Enrichment evening where different aspects of our faith will be discussed. This week’s topic will be “The ineffable mystery of God”. All are welcome to attend.
