KINDERGARTEN ORIENTATION

Kindergarten Orientation commenced today for our 2024 Kindergarten children and families. It is our aim that the children become more familiar with our school environment, the teachers and with one another. There is also important information provided for our families about our school and parish. The orientation will continue to take place over the next three Wednesdays, with the final day held on 13 December.

THE FEAST OF CHRIST THE KING- SUNDAY, 26 NOVEMBER

The Feast of Christ the King was introduced to the liturgical calendar by Pope Pius XI in 1925. The establishment of the feast took place in a world that had suffered through the First World War and was unknowingly heading towards the Second World War. In this setting, the world was experiencing a dramatic growth in secularism and an even more dramatic growth in dictators who were rising to power in various states. The introduction of the feast was a call back from the secular and a call to remember Christ as having authority above and beyond any earthly leader.

FIRST RECONCILIATION

Many of our Year 2 students will make their First Reconciliation on Wednesday, 29 November. They have been busy participating in the sacramental program on a Monday or Tuesday.

Thank you to many of our staff members and the Parish Sacramental Team for their hard work in preparing the children at the workshops alongside their parents and carers.

Please keep these children and their families in your thoughts and prayers for the remainder of November.
