Confirmation 2024
Please pray for our Year 6 Confirmation Candidates, their teachers, and families as they prepare this important sacrament. Today an import letter has been sent home for parents to complete and return to school as soon as possible. You are requested to fill in your child’s sponsor name and their name in confirmation (Saints name).
All our Confirmation candidates are truly embracing their ministries and getting involved in the Parish Masses. Well done! Don’t forget to bring your item of food for the ‘Food Pantry’.

“After eight days Jesus came in and stood among them.”
Something to Think About
Can you think of some things that you believe in, but cannot see?
You cannot ‘see’ the wind, but you know it is there if you watch the leaves moving in the trees.
You cannot ‘see’ love, but you know if somebody loves you by their words and actions. Can you think of any other examples?
The Story
Jesus appeared to his disciples after he had risen from the dead. Jesus showed them the wounds in his hands and side to show them it was really him.
Thomas was not with the others when Jesus appeared that day. He did not believe that Jesus was alive until later, when he saw Jesus for himself.
When Thomas could see and touch the scars of Jesus, he believed.
Jesus said that the people who are really blessed are the ones who believe in him even though they have never seen him.

Divine Mercy Sunday
Most merciful Jesus,
I trust You in all things.
I trust in Your perfect plan for my life.
I trust You when I cannot comprehend Your divine will.
I trust You when all feels lost.
Jesus, I trust You more than I trust myself.
