First Holy Communion

On Saturday afternoon 16 very special children made their First Holy Communion in St Patrick’s Church. Father George welcomed the children and their families and addressed the children as ‘little angels’. The children were so reverent and excited to receive the Eucharist.

We thank Father George for celebrating the Mass, the children for their thorough preparation, their very supportive parents and all those who contributed in any way to make this Sacrament such a special occasion.

We congratulate you on your First Holy Communion and pray that you will continue to feel God’s light, God’s warmth, and God’s love within you.

Altar Servers

In the coming weeks a new Altar Serving Roster will be sent out. Our First Holy Communion children are invited to be part of this special ministry and serve at Mass. If you would like to become an Altar Server, please complete the form given out during our FHC Preparation or send a note to Mrs Howe.

We will arrange a training session and place new servers on the roster with children who are experienced servers.

Socktober

St Patrick’s celebrated Catholic Mission Month, Socktober with lots of fun, enthusiasm and generosity. The children celebrated prayerful and thought provoking liturgies in their classrooms on Wednesday in preparation for their money raising activities on Friday.

Each class formed a line of coins and constructed a sock ball. A competition was held to see which ball would travel the furtherest.

A very long line of coins.

A huge $552.70 was raised to assist Catholic Mission in their quest to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable children in Thailand and around the world. 

A sincere thank you for your amazing generosity. We truly are an incredibly supportive and giving community.
