Mission Day
Our ‘Sock it to Poverty Day’ was a tremendous success with the school raising a total of $580.00 for the children attending the Arrupe Centre in Cambodia. A donation of $160.00 can purchase uniforms, education materials and healthcare supplies for a Kindergarten class. $300.00 can help cover the cost of necessities such as food and clothing for the residents at the Arrupe Centre.
At Mass on Sunday Father spoke about doing small things well and with love. The children really connected with the stories of the children in Cambodia and all helped in a small way which will make a BIG difference to the lives of the children in Cambodia .
As Pope Francis wrote in his 2020 Mission statement – ‘The celebration of World Mission Day is also an occasion for reaffirming how prayer, reflection and the material help of your offerings are so many opportunities to participate actively in the mission of Jesus in his Church’.
Thank you to all our families for supporting such a worthwhile charity and helping us to show our students mission work in action.
All Souls’ Day Mass
Thank you to 5/6 for ‘stepping up’ at with very short notice to present Mass on Monday for All Souls’ Day.
The month of November is a time of prayer and remembrance for all the faithfully departed. We pray especially for the souls of our family members, friends and Parish community members who have passed away, and ask God to grant them eternal rest.
