St Matthews Mass and Mission Frolic

On the final day of Term 3, we celebrated our School Patron, St Matthew, with Mass for K-11 and then participated in a variety of activities to raise money for Catholic Missions. It was a fantastic day with our whole school community coming together to celebrate and end a successful term. The final tally for our money raised was over $5000. Thank you to all our families who supported this wonderful initiative.

Ozanam Feast Day

Next Tuesday, we catch up on our final Feast Day for the year when we come together to celebrate Frederick Ozanam. Blessed Frédéric Ozanam, when only a young man, showed us how to live with kindness, generosity, and faith. When Frédéric was a student, he noticed that many people around him were struggling. They didn’t have enough food, clothing, or shelter. He felt called to help. So, Frédéric gathered some friends and began visiting people in need. They brought food, clothing, and friendship. They called their group the Society of St Vincent de Paul, named after St Vincent, who also cared deeply for the poor.

More information will be sent this week.

First Holy Communion and Reconciliation

We are approaching the Sacrament of Eucharist and Reconciliation for our Year 3 students. A reminder that all Mass attendance and booklets are asked to be completed by this date. If you are having any trouble with this, please contact myself or Rue at the Parish Office.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation will occur on the 4th of November. This is the same day as our Year 3 Reflection Day for their First Holy Communion.

Parish Mass

Each week, our Primary classes participate in the Parish, celebrating Mass. It’s a lovely time for our students to engage in Mass with our parishioners.
