Bishop Barry Jone's Visit

We received a visit from Bishop Barry Jones on September 11 2012. This visit coincided with the Yera 8 Confirmation that night. Our whole school met in the morning for a liturgy on Spring, followed by class visits by the Bishop.

                             

Pope Benedict has called on the Catholic church, over the world to observe a Year of Faith. It coincides with the 50^th anniversary of the opening of the 2^nd Vatican Council. A number of events are planned within our own diocese, which will be advertised during the year. To mark the beginning of the Year of Faith we are invited to receive God’s mercy and forgiveness, made available to us in the Sacrament of Reconcciliation. Our Year 4-8 children will be given to opportunity to receive this sacrament in Week 2 and 3 of the term.

The diocese has commissioned an icon to mark the beginning of the Year of Faith. It will provide a focus for devotion, prayer and instruction. The icon, of Mary Mother of the Church, will be made available in our parishes, schools, colleges and communities during the Year of Faith.
