Religious Education
The infant Church in Australia had a special reason for turning to Mary. In those early and mostly priestless days, it was largely the Rosary that kept the faith alive. Catholic Australia remained faithful to Mary, and was the first nation to choose her, under the title of Help of Christians, as Principal Patron.
Mary Help of Christians, Pray for us.
Fr Damien our new priest is a Salesian priest who has a special dedication to Mary Help of Christians.
The Salesians of Don Bosco [officially known as The Society of St. Francis de Sales], are an international organisation of Catholic priests and brothers dedicated to the service of the young, especially the disadvantaged and marginalised. The Salesians work in collaboration with schools, youth centres, hostels, camps, parishes and other contexts to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the lives of the young.
Please keep Fr Damien and all of our priests in your prayers this week.
Class Masses
Fr Damien has been visiting classes to prepare the children for Mass. The children have been writing prayers of the faithful and have been involved in reading. The children will participate in Masses once a term. Thank you Fr Damien!
