Mission Month
On Friday 27th October we celebrated Socktober. Our efforts raised an amazing $384.20 which will be sent to Catholic Mission. Thank you for your very generous effort.
All Saints’ and All Souls’ Day
On Wednesday 1st November, we celebrate All Saints’ Day. This day is marked in the Catholic liturgical calendar, as a day to remember and honour all the Saints, especially the Saints who are not honoured on other days of the year. It is a time to consider the example saints offer us today and reflect on how we can imitate their holiness.
All Souls’ Day follows All Saints’ Day, on Thursday 2nd November. All Souls’ Day is a solemn time to honour, reflect and pray for the departed souls of our loved ones. Year 4/5/6 will lead Mass on Thursday 2nd November at 12pm, in honour of the souls of our family members and friends that have passed away. Our St Joseph’s community is welcome to attend.
School Mass - Sunday 5th November 8.30am
St Joseph’s is rostered on for Mass this Sunday, 5th November at 8.30am. It would be lovely to see as many children and families attend.
Grandparents Day Mass / Learning Showcase
We look forward to seeing all our parents and grandparents on Wednesday 8th November to celebrate Grandparents Day and showcase the students’ learning. We will begin at 11.30am in classrooms, followed by Mass and a picnic lunch. Please bring lunch to share with your children.
Many thanks,
