Confirmation
Last week, many of our past students started their preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation. It was so nice to see so many familiar faces and families continuing their faith journey in our community. If your child/ren would like to make their Confirmation, we now prepare and celebrate the Sacrament with students when they are in Year Seven.
St Mary of the Cross
In classes, students were given the opportunity to learn about Australia's first saint; St Mary of the Cross (Mary MacKillop). In our school foyer, we have a cross that was made from the wood of St Mary's first school in Penola, South Australia.

Feast of the Assumption - August 15th
This Sunday is The Assumption of Mary, where Catholics celebrate Mary, the Mother of Christ, who was taken physically and spiritually into heaven to live with her son, Jesus Christ, forever. Due to Covid restrictions, only students in Years Five and Six will attend. Father Joshy has also added an additional Mass, meaning you can attend the Feast of Assumption Mass at Our Lady of Fatima this Sunday at 7:00am, 8:30am or 10:00am. Below is a prayer to pray with your families over the weekend.
