Year 1 and 2 Mass

This mass was beautifully presented on the theme of Pentecost.  We thank Mrs Howe and Mrs Eccleston for preparing the children.  They read beautifully and sang strongly.

Confirmation Preparation

Just a reminder that our Confirmation children and their parents will meet again this Saturday 22 June at 4:30pm. We continue to keep these children in our prayers. Every class has a special prayer reminder on their prayer table to pray for all of the 27 children.

The sacrament will be celebrated on 29 June at St Patrick’s Church.

Sacrament of Confirmation Information

1. After the Sacrament of Confirmation on Saturday 29th June, families will have the chance to have a group photo in the church and a photo with Fr George. NO PHOTOS ARE TO BE TAKEN DURING THE CEREMONY.
2. The organisers acknowledge the hours of preparation families have been involved in, and that on Confirmation evening you would appreciate getting home out of the cold to celebrate this special night. Therefore there will NOT be a Supper in the School Hall as in past years. 
3. All children will receive a Confirmation Cupcake after the ceremony to enjoy at home. They will also receive a Confirmation Memento Box to place special items in- certificate, sash, pin, etc.
4. Children should be in their “best winter clothes” - they will be given their Confirmation Sash and Confirmation Pin when they arrive at the Hall.
5. All Candidates should assemble by 5.40pm at the latest in the Upstairs Hall area.We will be on hand to attach pins to their sash and calm any nerves! There will be a seating plan at the back of the church for Sponsors. Sponsors are not required in the hall with the Candidates.
6. All Confirmation Candidates will sit with their Sponsor directly behind them, in the first 10 centre pews of the church. Parents, other family members and guests will need to be seated in other available pews or upstairs in the choir loft. For those with mobility issues, we advise that you sit on the side close to the altar - so if needed, Father George can administer Communion to you easily.

Altar Serving Training

There will be a special training session conducted in Term 3, on Tuesday 13 August for all altar servers with Mrs Wilson and Father George and Namora. This date coincides with the feast day of Saint John Berchmans, patron saint of all altar servers.  This will allow for new members from Year 3 to nominate and train after receiving the sacrament of First Holy Communion 

Volunteers Needed

The Parish is calling for new members of the community to consider volunteering to go on the reading roster for Saturday night mass.  Please leave your name at the school or contact the Parish via their website.

Prayer for the week:

Acts 2

The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.

Walking with you in Faith and Knowledge,

Mrs Wilson
