ASH WEDNESDAY

Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday was a beautiful celebration as a school. I would like to thank Father Sean, staff and the students for making this such a reverent liturgy.

PROJECT COMPASSION

PC

On Tuesday 25th March, representatives from the Mission Group travelled to Oran Park with other schools in the Wollongong Diocese to attend a Mass with Bishop Brian and be presented with our Project Compassion Candle and boxes. At Friday’s assembly we learnt about the work of CARITAS Australia and each class was presented with a Project Compassion box.

PC2

Over the next four weeks, each class will learn about how Project Compassion helps people around the world, including Australia, and how through our kind donations, people are able to help themselves and their families.  Project Compassion provides people with new skills and training to better their lives.

It is amazing what even one dollar can do to change a person in need’s life.

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK LITURGY
Each year we celebrate the gifts of Catholic Education and focus on a theme which connects deeply to our schools. This year the theme is “Embracing Our Future Together”. Over the last week, each class has made an artwork that connects them with their school and their faith. They will be displayed around the school over this week of celebration. There will also be a liturgy on Thursday morning at 9:30am in the Hall and all are most welcome to attend.

WORLD DAY OF PRAYER
On Friday 6th March we celebrate “World Day of Prayer”. Year 6 leaders from the Mission Group will attend a service at St Stephen's Anglican Church, Main St, Mittagong, commencing at 9am. It will be a wonderful celebration this year focusing on Zimbabwe.
