We extend our congratulations to the children from our school and parish who gathered at St Francis of Assisi church last week to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation. We pray that they will use the gifts they have received from the Holy Spirit to make a positive difference in the lives of those around them.

Year Six Mass with Bishop Brian
Each year, Bishop Brian invites Year Six students from the various schools in our diocese to join him for a special celebration of the Eucharist. Next Wednesday, 3 August, our Year Six students will join with Year Six students from St Columbkille’s (Corrimal), St Joseph’s (Bulli), St Michael’s (Thirroul), Holy Cross (Helensburgh) and St Patrick’s (Port Kembla) for Mass at St Joseph’s, Bulli.
