Mission Month

This October, we are celebrating World Mission Month, a month dedicated to the life-giving work of missionaries around the world.  St Joseph’s is participating in Socktober for Mission Month, because there are children in Timor-Leste who need our support to access nutritious food, education and healthcare. For further information, please watch the link. 

To celebrate Socktober, students are invited to wear crazy socks to school on Friday 20th October with their sports uniform for a gold coin donation. If students would like to make an additional donation they are welcome to bring in their coins now until Friday 20th October. Our school is running a competition where each class competes to raise the most money. We understand that economic circumstances can vary, but even a small gesture can create a significant change in the lives of these children.

Month of the Rosary 

October is a special and meaningful month in the Catholic tradition as we celebrate the Month of the Rosary. During this time, we honour the prayer called the Rosary, which consists of beads that help guide us in prayer and reflection. It's a time of reflection, unity, and growing in faith together in prayer.
