RE report 

Last Saturday evening four of our students received the Sacrament of Confirmation.  Fr Mick confirmed the children at the parish mass.  The students had many special roles during the Mass and they performed these duties with such respect and reverence.  Many thanks to their parents for bringing them to this point in their life and to the teachers who prepared them. The organisation of the Mass was a team effort with school and parish people.  Mrs Helen Hart has supported all our sacraments this year and her involvement with the music and overheads was very much appreciated.  

As we move towards Christmas it is a good time to consider others less fortunate.  We will be having the Vinnies Christmas appeal. The children will bring in non perishable food items  over the next couple of weeks. These will be collected in class.

As we continue to see the devastation with the floods in country areas we pray for those suffering this hardship.  Eugowra has been particularly affected with water all through the town.  St. Joseph’s Catholic School at Eugowra has had water all through the school. I have visited the school on several occasions.  It is a small school with a strong sense of community  and I know that they would really appreciate support.  Tomorrow we will be having have a casual clothes day which will cost the children a gold coin.  We will also be sending cards and well wishes to the children, teachers and parents.

We move into Advent this weekend, which starts four weeks before Christmas. It is a time of preparation for the special occasion of the birth of the baby Jesus.  At Saturday evening Mass each week children will be involved in the liturgy.  Please consider coming along.
