God, our Father
Bless these men,
that they may find strength as fathers.
Let the example of their faith and love shine forth.
Grant that we, their sons and daughters,
may honour them always
with a spirit of profound respect.
Dear Parents and Carers,
Happy Father's Day to all the men in our school community who provide wonderful guidance and support to their children/grandchildren. You play such a significant role and I pray that you feel well acknowledged on this special day.
Last Sunday our parish held its Annual Celebration, which was a great success. This annual celebration commenced in 2022 as a commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the very first Catholic Mass that was said in the Macarthur area. On that day in 1822, Fr John Therry rode on horseback to the area now known as Mawson Park to say the Mass. In an interesting turn of events, rain caused the Mass to be moved to the nearby Anglican church which was still under construction.
Since 2022, the parish uses this anniversary to bring the community of faith together to in a spirit of peace and unity. There are many wonderful cultural groups which add to the occasion with their own food, dancing and singing which add to the colour of the day.
It was wonderful to have some of our students share their talents, with the choir adding their angelic voices to the entertainment, and Jasper and Sebastian from Year 6 displaying their skills on guitar and drums. During the Mass we also had students involved in the offertory, singing, reading and serving. Thank you to those families who were able to support this event.
