Archdiocesan Assembly 

On Saturday, Kirsty and I attended the 2024 Archdiocesan Assembly that was held across the Canberra-Goulburn Archdiocese and included 5 regional hubs. The Assembly focused on celebrating that Year of the Holy Spirit and explored the themes of Encounter, Discipleship and Mission. This was an opportunity for evangelisation and synodality in the life and mission of our local church and ideas for moving forward. 

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 Mongolia who need our support to access nutritious food, education and healthcare. For further information, please watch this link.

To celebrate Socktober, students are invited to wear crazy socks to school on Friday 25th 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 25th October. 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.
