RELIGIOUS MATTERS

Sacrament of Penance - Preparation for First Holy Communion

We believe that the passing on of our Christian faith, values and traditions are a true gift that our parents can share with their children.  Thank you to parents who joined us last Monday 24 March. 

The final Sacrament of Penance meeting will be held with the children during next  week. 

Please keep in your prayers the families and the following students who are preparing to celebrate the Sacrament of Penance: Abaigeal Ashton, Nancy Butler, Phoebe Jett , Jackson Marsden, Poppy Parkinson and Eli Walsh 

The celebration of the Sacrament of Penance will be next  Wednesday 2 April 2025  at 6 pm in  All Saints Church Woodburn. All are welcome to attend.

As a school family, we will support Project Compassion - Caritas Australia this Lenten season, to help support vulnerable people around the world, now and for all future generations.

The theme of Project Compassion is 'Unite Against Poverty’. The good we do today will extend and impact the lives of generations to come. It is also a call for all of us to play our part in making the world a better place by working together as sisters and brothers in finding long-term solutions to global issues.

Each class has been given a Project Compassion Mission Box and students have also been given a mission box to take home. I had a long discussion with the children yesterday about the importance of us helping, and how each of us can make a real difference. Come on Joeys we can dig deep to help. If you would like to donate to Project Compassion this year your support would be most appreciated.

Please return the Project Compassion Mission Boxes by Monday 7 April  2025.
