Religious Education News
Thank you to all the families who were able to join us this morning to celebrate our Opening School Mass. All the students read beautifully and were very reverent. During the homily, Fr Joe invited the kindergarten children to sit with him up the front. Fr Joe spoke to the children about the importance of friendship and how we are all a part of God’s family. Thank you Fr Joe for leading us in such a special celebration.
Lent
We have now entered the Church’s season of Lent. Lent is a period of 40 days, that amounts to the time Jesus spent in the desert fasting. It’s a time of preparation to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. During this time we prepare for Easter and focus on spiritual growth.
Parish Mass
St Joseph's will present Mass on Sunday 3rd March at 8.30am. We would love as many families as possible to come and share this Parish Mass. Thank you to Sarah Roche who has offered to make a cake to share with the children afterwards.
If you are able to attend, and would like your child/ren to participate, please email me so I can distribute the readings. (stacey.braun@cg.catholic.edu.au)
