Archbishop’s Visit

Archbishop Christopher Prowse will visit our Parish on Thursday 17^th September. Archbishop will say Mass at 5pm and afterwards meet Parishioners in the Hall for a light supper.

This is an open invitation to all families to attend this special Mass and supper.  

Sacrament of Reconciliation

Last week several children began their preparation to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The children and their families are committed to coming together as a Parish family to learn about this important and special Sacrament.

We ask you to pray for these children as they continue in their Sacramental journey – Amy Cotterill, Tessa Crowe, Emmy Gaskin, Harvey Graham, Darby Jones, Riley Lott, Charlotte McDonnell and Nate Tozer.

Making Jesus Real

Last week the focus was - Seeing Goodness in Others…

The children discussed – ‘The Great 8’. What are the Great 8?

The Great 8 are the actions that we use to show who we are as a person and how we are blessed by the Spirit of Jesus in our hearts. These are words that you can do, not just say.

There is so much goodness in people. There are so many people with wonderful qualities that we can imitate. Positive people see goodness in others. Let’s all show these positive qualities in our everyday life. 

Class seating in the Church

We love having our parents attend our School Masses and children sitting with their parents. However, we do ask that if your child’s class is presenting the Mass that they remain seated in their class group for the entire Mass. It has become rather disruptive with children moving around the Church transitioning between seats.

If your child is attending Mass without taking an active role they are encouraged to sit with their families. Thank you for your understanding.
