The St Patrick’s community extends our sincere sympathy to two of our school families on the passing of their loved ones.

The Blundell family have recently experienced the sad passing of Leah’s mother Lorraine after a brief illness, and Leah’s aunty Robyn only a week earlier.

We were also saddened by the passing over the weekend of Gary Clarke, loved uncle of Ms Natasha Smith and Great Uncle of Kaydee. Our loving thoughts and prayers are with these families at this sad time. May God’s love give them strength and courage in the days ahead.

Father Bernie Hennessy

On Thursday 8^th September Fr Bernie (our past Parish Priest) celebrates his 50^th year of Ordination into the Priesthood. We send our congratulations to Fr Bernie on this memorable occasion. We thank him for the wonderful service and dedication to St Patrick’s Parish while he was our Parish Priest. May his ministry and example be an inspiration for all he administers to. We pray that he will receive many blessings for his tireless work. We will send a card of congratulations to Fr Bernie.
