First Communion

Sunday the 13^th May was a special day for our Year 4 students, and five other children in our parish, as they made their First Holy Communion. On Friday a Special Character assembly was held where the Year 8 family group leaders presented the children with prayer cards. The children then celebrated their First Holy Communion on Sunday. We congratulate Isabella, Eimear,Brooke, Magdalene, Alex,  Megan, Samantha Mae, Jorja, Amber,  Hannah, Eilish, Hannah, Isabella, Tasha, Emilea, Gorgia, Jet, Parker, Jacob,Alex, Ethan, Cameron and Ged along with Ellie, Julian, Marguerite, Eddie, and Jonathon. Making your First Communion is such an important event in your faith journey.

2012 Lenten Appeal

 Lenten Appeal

The three main focuses of Lent are Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving. Every year St Joseph’s participates in a whole school almsgiving activity, where money is raised and sent to the Catholic Aid organisation, Caritas. The Caritas theme for Lent 2012 was “Called by faith to act with generous hearts.”

This year our Lenten effort was The Tables-a-thon. It reflects the generosity of our school community that an amazing total of $3152.40 was raised this year. A cheque for this amount has been sent to Caritas.  We appreciate your support in this Lenten project and it is great to see that our virtue of Generosity is alive in our school community. Generous donations to the National Lent Appeal, have exceeded $600,000 so far.
