Welcome to Week 5! We are now in the second week of Lent and the children have been observing changes to their prayer spaces and the Church during the Lenten season.

Purple (or violet) is the colour of the Lenten season. Cloths on our prayer tables and the Tabernacle cover in the church are now purple. During Lent, flowers and other decorations are removed from the church as well. During Lent we focus on prayer, almsgiving and fasting.

Project Compassion 2023

Caritas Australia is the international aid and development organisation of the Catholic Church in Australia. Each year, Project Compassion runs during the six weeks of Lent. Project Compassion is an opportunity for students to learn about life in different countries through personal stories of people who have participated in Caritas programs.

The theme of Project Compassion 2023 is ‘For All Future Generations’. It is an expression of hope and reminds us that the good that we do today will extend and impact the lives of generations to come. It invites us to make the world a better place by working together now and finding long-term solutions to global issues.

St Joseph’s Day

We look forward to celebrating the Feast Day of our school patron St Joseph with a prayer service on the Monday 20th March at 12:30pm (in the church).

Altar Servers

If your child has made Holy Communion and is interested in learning how to altar serve, please let me know. 

Have a lovely week,
