Wow! What a fantastic Mission Month we have celebrated at St Patrick’s. On Thursday we held our coin line. There was great fun (and some stiff competition) of who could make the longest line. Each class gave so generously and our crazy socks were absolutely bulging. Year Five/Six eventually made the longest line (double line). St Patrick’s have raised $551.60 which will be forwarded to Catholic Mission and sent to Ghana, to The Nazareth Home for God’s Children run by Sr Stan Therese Mumuni.

This was an outstanding effort by our School. Well done St Patrick’s families! We have helped to make a difference to many children’s lives.

 First Holy Communion

Our lessons have begun with great enthusiasm and participation from our children and their families. We ask you to pray for Sophie Graham, Eliza Hargreaves, Charles Hindmarsh, Ellie McDonnell, Gracie Peterson, James Reardon, Tahlira Rose, Hugh Ryan, Joel Sharman, Akacia Winchester as they prepare for the Sacrament of the Eucharist.

The children role playing the Gospel story – The Road to Emmaus.

All Saints and All Souls Mass

Thank you, Year 3/4, Mr Ferguson and Mrs Reardon for organising and presenting a very special Mass on Friday. There was a huge amount of effort put into this beautiful remembrance celebration for the Saints and for those loved ones who have gone before us. There was so many School and Parish families represented in many ways through this Mass.

Family Mass

On Saturday 9^th November we will be celebrating another Family Mass. Our last one was a great celebration with a large number of

children taking on many roles and responsibilities of the Mass.

Thank you once again to all those families who have offered to help. If you would like to be part of the Family Mass, and not yet returned your note, just let us know as soon as possible. Hope you can join us on Saturday night at 6pm.

Staff Spirituality Day

This coming Friday our St Patrick’s Staff will join the Staff of St Mary’s Batlow and St Joseph’s Adelong for our Spirituality Day. We will meet in Tumut and be lead through various sessions by Catholic Education personal. We are looking forward to an inspirational day.

Walking with you in Faith and Knowledge,

Mrs. Howe
