St Joseph's Feast Day
Saturday 19th March was the Feast of St Joseph. St Joseph lived a simple and yet very important life, he provided for his family and loved them. St Joseph worked as a carpenter and was a good father to Jesus. In the Bible there are no stories about Joseph doing great things. Joseph was a humble man who did what he could to look after and love his family in a humble and quiet way. St Joseph is the patron saint of workers. Our school was founded by the Sisters of St Joseph who worked quietly, humbly and practically to help others just as St Joseph did. This week we pray for all of the Sisters of St Joseph, that they may know God’s constant love and continue to follow in the footsteps of St Joseph through caring and supporting families and the less fortunate. Prayer of St. Joseph
St Joseph, watch over me and care for me just as you cared for the child Jesus; and by your help, may I come to know your Son, and so grow in strength and wisdom and the favour of God. Amen Junior Joey's
The Junior Joey Leaders of our school have attended a Formation Day at Mackillop Hill Forth with Sr Carmel Jones. A big thankyou to Sr Carmel who travelled down from Launceston to facilitate the day. The Junior Joey’s will be active leaders in our school organising special fundraising days and events and focussing on ways to make our school and local community a better place and to raise awareness for those in need. There will be more information as the year progresses. The Celebration of Reconciliation The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be celebrated on the 6th April at Our Lady of Lourdes Church at 7.00 p.m. Please keep the children in your prayers as they prepare. Sacramental Program Family Mass As part of our Sacramental Program this year, we are having a special Family Mass for all Sacramental Candidates on Sunday 3rd April at 4pm at Our Lady of Lourdes Church, followed by a sausage sizzle in the Parish Hall (beside Church). This is a great opportunity to get to know each other as we journey together through the sacraments. We will be asking for volunteers to read in Mass, if you or your child are interested please let Fr Steven know. We are looking forward to gathering together for Fun, Family, Friendship, Food and Faith! Lent Don't forget we are still in the middle of the Church season of Lent. Lent is a time of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. We will be raising money for Project compassion in the coming weeks, stay tuned for more details. |
Third Week of Lent
(Week beginning Monday 21st March) We are now in the third week of Lent with the Project Compassion story of Janice, a Wagilak woman and traditional dancer who tells her family’s stories through movements handed down over generations. Like many remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, Janice’s faces a range of challenges – low employment and education, financial hardship, poorer health and lower life expectancy. With your help, Caritas Australia supports Djilpin Arts Aboriginal Corporation, which operates a centre for traditional and contemporary Aboriginal arts and culture, providing employment and generating income for local communities. Janice believes that Djilpin Arts’ work is essential to create opportunities for young people to stay on-country, to share intergenerational knowledge between elders and the younger generation - to promote healing, and to keep culture alive. Watch a short film about Janice’s story here. Please support Project Compassion: lent.caritas.org.au Dates to Remember Reconciliation Faith Sharing Sessions:
