Mary of the Cross MacKillop

Monday the 8th of August is the Feast Day of Mary MacKillop. Mary of the Cross MacKillop was an Australian woman who saw a need and did something about it through setting up schools for children who did not have access to education and could not afford to go to school. This Monday we remember our founding Sr Mary of the Cross MacKillop and the work she and her sisters carried out in founding our schools and offering equity to all through education.

First Eucharist Preparation Day

Thank you to everyone who attended last Sunday's Mass and preparation for Eucharist. Parents and children shared morning tea and had a sausage sizzle for lunch. During the session the parents listened to a presentation by Samuel Clear regarding his walk around the world for unity. Sam kept us all enthralled with his stories and recounts from his extraordinary experiences. Sam faced blizzards, deserts, scorpions, pumas and a whole lot more on his journey. Sam’s Book is in the library for loan if people are interested.  

The Eucharistic Candidates worked with the 24:7 School Ministry Youth Group from Western Australia. The children participated in games, watched videos, and discussed the sacrament of Eucharist and the meaning of Eucharist which means ‘thanksgiving’.

At the conclusion of the session the children came out happy and excited about their experience. The children were enthusiastic to share their learning with the parent group and this week at school little gems are still continuing to be shared. All in all it was a great day.

The students wrote prayers for receiving Jesus in the Eucharist
