In Australia, the Catholic Church asks us to set aside the whole month of November to pray for loved ones who have died.  The Church teaches that our prayers, good works and the sacrifice of the Mass help the departed receive God’s light and join us again in eternal life.

We are encouraged to make November a time of family prayer and remembrance. By praying together, giving alms, and sharing a simple “Eternal rest” prayer, we show children that we are all part of one big family—the communion of saints—who help one another even after death.

You might like to pray this - traditional prayer for the dead with your family this month.

All Saints Mass

A special thank you to all the parents, friends and parishioners who were able to join us for Mass to celebrate the feast of All Saints last week in the Church. 

Remembrance Day Prayer Service

On Tuesday 11 November we will be having a Prayer Service at 11:30am in the Library to commemorate Remembrance Day. After the Second World War, the Australian Government agreed to the United Kingdom's proposal that Armistice Day be renamed Remembrance Day to commemorate those who were killed in both World Wars.

Today the loss of Australian lives from all wars and conflicts is commemorated on Remembrance Day. Our school Captains and Mrs Colussi will be attending the Community service in Charles Harper Park at the War Memorial, where they will lay a wreath to represent our school community.

In Peace, 

Mrs Debbie Turton
