Faith Life, Catholic Identity and the Liturgical Season

RE_Medium_.jpg

This week’s Gospel highlights Jesus’ significant followings in his ministry movements. Crowds would follow him and meet him in his travels as he moved through Galilee. During this instance, Jesus performed a notable miracle of which he fed the entire crowd with a small amount of bread and fish. The distribution of the loaves and fish once again reiterates the missionary call of Catholics to address food inequities and hospitality as service to the global family.

Also noteworthy in the Liturgical Calendar is that Sunday 28th July marked the Pontifical identified: “World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly”. Pope Francis highlights this important day of commemoration in his annual message, linked here: https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/messages/nonni/documents/20240425-messaggio-nonni-anziani.html

Highlighted from Psalm 71 is the thematic quote of “Don’t cast me off in my old age …”

We will recognise our Grandparents in a Prayer Service at the beginning of our Book Week Celebrations in the school hall in Week 5 at 9:00am on Friday 23rd August.

Catholic Culture and Faith Life:

August is an important month in Catholic Culture for our School Community. We recognise and celebrate the Feast of Mary MacKillop on Thursday 8th August by attending the Weekday Mass with our fellow parishioners to celebrate role of Mary MacKillop in the foundation of the Sisters of St Joseph.
It is hoped that student participation in this event will enhance their understanding of Catholic Culture as they journey to Mary MacKillop Place in North Sydney at the end of August.

As a school community, we will also participate in Mass on Thursday 15th August to mark the Feast of the Assumption as a Catholic Holy Day of Obligation.

Last week, the Faith Life Roster was issued to families via Compass. In this roster you will find the weeks your child’s class will co-lead a prayer service at school. Families are most welcome to participate in these opportunities for worship as a school community.

Sacramental Programme News:

We congratulate our candidates for Confirmation as they prepare to receive this sacrament in the month of August.
