Patience

Father, I pray that I may have patience to live through the difficulties of life.

May I correct my faults, that they may not destroy my peace and take from me my strength;
help me to center my life in brightness and hope.

Amen

1st Holy Communion

Congratulations to the Year Four students who received the Sacrament of the Eucharist recently. The students were reverent, respectful and were extremely well prepared by Miss Assis, Mr Potito and Mrs Bakunowicz. Thanks to Fr. Anthony for his contribution both prior and during the Liturgy. Thanks also to all staff members for their input into the children’s faith journey over the years. It was a wonderful celebration!
