On Saturday night, we will celebrate our Family / Thanksgiving Mass. We look forward to coming together as a Parish community to thank God for enriching the lives of our children through the Sacraments of Confirmation and Reconciliation and for being part of God’s family. Thank you to all those who have offered to take a part in the Mass.
On Friday 30th August Mrs Baron, Father Namora and myself attended the Key Personnel Day in Canberra. The day began with an address from Archbishop Christopher Prowse who said, “the Holy Spirit is at work when we all work together. We need the entire community to work together to empower the young.”
Members of the Youth Ministry spoke about faith being a plan, a journey, a pathway. They used analogies to liken faith with sport. In Aussie Rules they use a term, ‘lower your eyes’ (so you can see what’s going on around you) and in ‘Rugby Union,’ the term ‘use it’, is often heard around the scrum base. These analogies have a real message for us all.
The day was inspiring and enlightening.
Our School Mass on Friday will be presented by Kinder and Year One. The theme of the Mass is Prayer. The children and Mrs Carberry are busy preparing. We know it will be a special occasion.
Walking with you in Faith and Knowledge,
Mrs. Howe
