Week 4

It was great catching up with most of you at parent-teacher meetings last week.
For those who were unable to make it, I am happy to make another time to see you.

This Tuesday there is a World Peace Liturgy in the church at 11.00am.

This Tuesday we also have our Schools’ Commissioning Mass at 6pm in our church. The Mass is specifically for blessing the staff, students and parents in all our schools.
We are really encouraging our senior students to come along if they can make it. Children are to wear school uniform.
There is a light supper served following Mass.
