RE News
Last weekend we launched Catholic Schools Week in our parish. Bishop Bill and Fr Joe Figuardo concelebrated the mass. Standing room only! It was fabulous to have so many families present for our Term 1 family mass. Staff were commissioned for the 2020 year, a special welcome by the Bishop to our Kinder families, badges handed out to our Mini Vinnie Members all rounded off by interesting and entertaining short speeches by our two school captains, Madeline Platt and Antonio Multari.
This year’s theme is “Drawing from the well. Invitation, Encounter, Witness”. This acknowledges that Jesus Christ is always at the heart of everything we do. “Invitation, Encounter, Witness” celebrates the connection of the school community with Jesus Christ. Our students are invited to the well, where, with Jesus as their guide they encounter diversity of learning in a supportive and inclusive environment, and witness service to others and the community.
St Kevin’s students shine in local children’s choir.
In this time when we can easily be overwhelmed by all that is happening around us how wonderful is it to see the Multari and Siulai children expressing their faith through song. For more information please see the link below to the article in the Aurora.
“The Saint Laurence O’Toole’s Multicultural Children’s Choir is testimony and witness that young families are still very much present and a part of the church. It is also an encouraging reminder that Jesus said: “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” (Matthew 19:14)
