Feast of the Annunciation

On Monday, 8 April 2024 we will be celebrating the Feast of the Annunciation, which is the feast day of Nazareth School.  The Solemnity of the Annunciation is celebrated nine months before the Nativity of the Lord. The Annunciation recalls the day when the Archangel Gabriel appeared to Mary at Nazareth and revealed God’s will that she become the Mother of the Son of God, and she accepted. 

In 2024, because it would fall during Holy Week, the Annunciation is observed on Monday, April 8.

We will gather as a whole school for mass at 9:30am.  All family and friends are welcome to attend with their children.  Students will participate in learning and activities about Mary throughout the day and at lunch time they will have a BBQ lunch sponsored by the P&F.

Wednesday Mass and Faith & Learning visits

This Wednesday (Week 10) Year 4 will be attending mass at 9am and then will have their classroom visit with the parents directly after.  Next week (Week 11 ) Year 5 will celebrate Wednesday mass and parents are invited back to the classroom to join their children and see the wonderful work they are doing.  We look forward to seeing families join us for mass and then a visit to the classroom afterwards. A big thank you to the parents and families who do come along. 

IMPORTANT - Confirmation Parent Information Night
