Dear Families,

Yesterday, the students from Year 3-6 attended Mass for Ash Wednesday. Father Paul asked many questions about the ways in which we can prepare ourselves for Easter during the Lenten season.

Many students gave forth answers such as: not eating meat on Fridays during Lent and giving up things that they really don't want to give up, like chocolate, screen time, etc.

Most importantly of all, Lent is the time to 'Make a change of heart'. In this way, we make the lives of people with whom we come into contact, better and happier for them. I am confident if you ask your children to tell you how they can make their family members and friends have a happier, better life -  they can tell you quite a number of ideas.

Today, our Prep-Grade 2 students received the ashes and celebrated a short liturgy.

Our next big celebration will be on St Patrick's Day where we will attend mass during school and then, all families will be invited to Mass on Saturday 18th March at 6:00pm., followed by a Pizza Night! We hope to see you there!

Also, please find the Sacramental Dates for all sacraments. Families with children who will be receiving Communion for the first time, please note that the PARENT WORKSHOP date has been changed from Wednesday 31st May; to Thursday 1st June. 

Kind regards,

Noleen Chalmers
