FIRST HOLY COMMUNION

Please keep the children and their families in your prayers as they prepare to celebrate their First Eucharist this weekend. All the children are very excited and cannot wait to receive their First Eucharist. On Friday, the students enjoyed ‘Jesus Day’. They were involved in a variety of activities, including the re-enactment of the ‘Passover’ with Fr Troy leading in the journey. They celebrated 12 noon Mass with the Parishioners, reflected on the Last Supper and prepared for their First Communion Day.

THANKYOU

Thank you, Year 6 Charcoal and Ink, along with their teachers, Mrs Hicks, and Mr Russell for a beautiful and moving Focus Assembly to celebrate the holy life of St Teresa of Calcutta, who opened her heart to receive the message of Christ’s love and light and to share this with those most in need. They led the school in a terrific song “Into Our Hands”. Just like Mother Teresa who served Jesus by caring for the poorest of the poor.

Fr Eden, in his homily, spoke about when Jesus talked about loving the least of these, He wanted us to help with needs we see around us. He wants us to love people everyone else doesn’t see as important. Maybe they aren’t popular, easy to love, or wear the right clothes. Maybe they don’t have as much money as you do. Jesus wants us to see someone in need and instead of ignoring them, do our best to help them.
