Sacrament of Reconciliation

Congratulations to Rouge Calub, Leila Gaskin, Lane Johnson, Jack Fifield, Jimmy Robinson, and Reuben Smart who received the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Friday 2^nd June. Father Joe was so happy with the children’s preparation and their understanding of the Sacrament. Father commented on the children’s reverence, openness, and honesty.

The children, parents and Father celebrated this special occasion with morning tea held in the Staffroom.

Family Mass

What a joyous Family Mass we celebrated on Saturday 3^rd June. It was wonderful to have so many St Patrick’s families present. A big thank you for making this a such a lovely Mass. There have been so many positive comments from the parishioners about the happy vibe in the Church and Father Joseph was overjoyed. Immediately after Mass he was asking when we are holding the next ‘Family Mass?’

The children are to be congratulated on their involvement in the Mass either by reading, singing, taking part in the Offertory or just by being there. Thank you to the Parents for supporting your beautiful children in true St Patrick’s style.

Family Week

I hope you all enjoyed our ‘Family Week’ last week. There have been wonderful conversations about the things that families got up to. We had children report that they had played cards, explored the creek, tried darning socks, watched movies, played board games, read books, enjoyed family joke time, and generally just enjoyed being together as a family. What a great idea Family Week is!

Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

This coming Friday 16^th June the Church celebrates the Feast of The Most Sacred Heart. Devotion to the Sacred Heart is devotion to Jesus and his love. It is a sign or a symbol of both the divine and human love that Jesus has for his Father and for us. 

Mrs. Carberry, Kinder and Year One have been busy preparing this Mass. We warmly welcome you to join us at 12 noon. It will be a special celebration.

Sacrament of Confirmation

Next Term, the children in Year Five and Six will make their Sacrament of Confirmation. Registration Forms are available on the Parish Web site or from myself. Preparations begin on Saturday 29^th July with our first lesson and a commitment Mass.

The Sacrament will be celebrated on Saturday 19^th August at 5 pm Mass.

A full list of preparation dates will be finalised and sent out asap following a meeting with Father Joe.
