It is hard to believe how quickly this term is flying by. There have been so many wonderful events taking place at St Patrick’s that are keeping us on our toes.

I would like to thank Kindergarten and Year One for the way they presented their very first Mass for the year, in honour of Father’s Day. The children were so excited and very capably fulfilled their roles. It was great to have so many fathers, grandfathers, and father figures in the Church to be part of this celebration. 

The Mass was followed by a super BBQ lunch enjoyed by many. It is always a great opportunity for our Dads and Grandfather’s to come into the school for a social gathering. I think there were many yarns told and great conversations.

Mass – Week 8

Year Two will be presenting our Mass this week. We welcome you to join with us to celebrate at 12pm. Hope to see you there.
