Prayer

First Eucharist

On Sunday 21st November we celebrated the sacrament of First Eucharist with our Year 3 and 4 students.

Thank you to all the parents that helped to clean the church to make this event possible, to Trish Young for making an amazing cake, and to Brother Brian and Father Mick who helped to prepare the students so well.

Advent

This weekend is the first Sunday of Advent.
Advent is a special time in the church year when we prepare and get ready to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
The word ‘Advent’ means ‘coming’. When we light the candles on the wreath, it symbolises the coming of light (Jesus) into the world.

Candle 1 (violet): represents hope
Candle 2 (violet): represents peace
Candle 3 (rose): represents joy
Candle 4 (violet): represents love

The central white candle is lit on Christmas Day and represents Christ.
