First Reconciliation celebration bookings on the schoolinterview.com.au website will be open on Friday 18th February at 10am, closing on Thursday 22ND February at 3.30pm.

Shrove Tuesday (1st March 2022) is the day before Lent starts on Ash Wednesday. Dating back to 1000 AD, over the years Shrove Tuesday not only became a day for Confession but a time for Catholics to feast on eggs, sugar and dairy which are traditionally restricted during the Lenten fast.

This year the students will be offered pre-prepared pikelets in their classrooms with a choice of various toppings. Please complete your child/s permission form that was sent out today via PAM.  Permissions must be completed by Thursday 24th February at the latest.  Children must have PAM permission to participate. Students with allergies to any of the listed ingredients or require special dietary requirements are asked to provide their own pre-prepared pancakes and toppings.

We look forward to celebrating Shrove Tuesday.

Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle C

Sunday, February 20, 2022

In next Sunday’s Gospel, we continue to hear Jesus' Sermon on the Plain. Jesus teaches us how we are to treat others.

Jesus calls us to treat others in the way we want to be treated. We follow Jesus’ command when we love and forgive all people, even when it’s hard. This Gospel tells us that God gives us unlimited chances to act in loving ways toward others. We know that God shows mercy to us by forgiving us and by giving us another chance to choose to follow his ways. God wants us to be merciful just as he is merciful. This means that God expects us to give each other unlimited chances.
