REC News

Welcome to Term Four and what a busy Term this will be!

Mission Month

The children and Staff at St Patrick’s have embraced Mission Month with a generous donation and out of uniform day to celebrate ‘A Day of Many Colours’. The children looked fantastic in their colourful clothes representing the colours of the continents.

Year One/Two lead us with a lovely Mass focusing on the Missions and the work of missionaries in the world. Thank you, children, for all your efforts.

Each class is generously contributing their coins into their classroom crazy sock in readiness for our coin line on Thursday 31st October.

REFLECTION - Sometimes we feel like some issues are too big for us to make a difference. If we can see value in the small things, we do such as a kind word or helping someone, we are making a difference. We can’t do everything but we can do something.

November is traditionally the Month of the Holy Souls when we especially pray for the dead. All Saints and All Souls will be remembered at our school Mass on Friday 1st November. If you have someone close to you that has passed away and you would like us to remember in this Mass, please email a photo to the school by the end of this week (Week 2), for their inclusion in this Mass.

Altar Serving Training Day

Children from Years 3 – 6 will participate in an Altar Serving training session on Friday 25th October from 1:45 pm – 3:00pm. Father Namora and Mr Peter Reardon will provide the training in this session.

If there are any children who have received the Sacrament of Eucharist and would like to be an Altar Server and are not already on the roster, please let me know and you will be included on the roster.
