REC Report

As we are following the NSW Catholic Education Guidelines for the COVID-19 virus, all whole school and stage Masses and Liturgies have now been cancelled until further notice. This means that our pre planned masses for Yrs 2, 3, 4 and 6 classes will no longer go ahead. Yr 1 in Week 9 Thursday 26 March and Kindergarten in Week 10 Thursday 2 April will still celebrate their Term 1 Liturgies in the children’s classrooms with their teachers and Fr Greg. We look forward to inviting parents to the Kinder and Yr 1 Liturgies later in the year. All Sacrament programs run by the parish for 2020 have now been cancelled. Bishop Bill is calling 2020 a fallow year. The parish office will notify our parents by email of Bishop Bill's decision. All week day and weekend masses have now been cancelled until further notice. Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter.

Yr 1 and Kinder students are invited to bring a grocery item to their liturgy. We are teaching our students in Religion about almsgiving during Lent. These groceries will help support Catholic Care’s community pantry.  We are hoping to support this local catholic agency redistribute basic food items to the less fortunate of our community.

Items you can donate are: cereal; long life milk, canned tins for casseroles, baked beans, spaghetti, small tins of tuna or spam, crackers: jatz or rice cakes, two minute noodles, soups-tins or sachets, tins of corn, tomatoes, four bean mix or peas, tea bags, small jars coffee, sugar, cans of stewed fruit.

Mini Vinnies would also like to support CARITAS and raise money during this Lenten period. They have gathered pre-loved books and are selling them for $1 each. If you wish to buy a book and support Mini Vinnies, simply go to the office at any time of the day. Likewise, please call the ladies in the office if you wish us to hold a book for you. We have only one copy of each book so you will need to be an early bird.  The following books will be on sale from Monday 23 March.
