Year 5/6
On Friday 23rd the children from Year 5/6 who will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation next term, began their Sacramental Preparation. The children were able to participate in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Father Joe spent time with each child hearing their Confession. This was a valuable first stage for the Confirmation Candidates, as they continue their faith journey.




St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal
This is a timely reminder so that in the holidays, if you are going through your cupboards, you may put aside any suitable winter clothing, scarves, hats, gloves, blankets that could be donated to the ‘Winter Appeal’.
There are so many people who are struggling to make ends meet and need help. Our contributions could mean so much to another person.
All donations will be welcomely received and can be bought to school for our School celebration in Week 2 Term 3.
