Welcome back to Term 2. This term, due to changes in COVID-19 restrictions we will be able to attend Mass and celebrate feast days and special occasions with the parish. There will still be limited numbers in the church but we welcome the opportunity to celebrate together. There are a few feasts and celebrations this term that you may want to add to your calendars.

Mothers’ Day Mass
Kindergarten, Year 1, 2 and 3 will be preparing and attending Mass on Friday 7 May at 9 am to celebrate all Mothers. Please join us for this special time. Please see the Mother's Day flyer that was sent home on Compass regarding Mother's Day.
