RELIGIOUS EDUCATION NEWS
Catholic Mission Month
When we come back to Term 4, October is Mission Month and the theme this year is “Go and Invite Everyone to the Banquet”. The aim is to build a more just world for people everywhere. By supporting missionaries in their work, we can create life-changing opportunities for countless children, families, and communities worldwide. Join us in making a difference for our sisters and brothers. In Week 3 we will have our Socktober kick off with each class making a soccer ball from recycled materials and testing their skills against Mr Edwards. More information to come next term.
Core Values
As part of our Annual Improvement Goal being a shared understanding and a lived experience of the vision, mission and values of the school, this week Gary Quinn from the Catholic Education Office will visit each grade to get student voice and feedback on the students' idea of core values here at Nazareth.
First Holy Communion
This weekend at mass, parents will be advised of the workshops to which you have been allocated. Remember, these workshops are an integral part of the sacramental program and are an opportunity for you and your child to sit and have a conversation over the weekly workshop activities and to ask any questions that you may have. It is important for you and your child to attend each of the four workshops with the student workbook. The first workshop will commence on Tuesday in Week 1 of Term 4.
Reminder: First Holy Communion will be held on Sunday, 24 November 2024.
Wednesday Mass and Faith & Learning visits
This week Year 4 attended mass at 9am on Wednesday. There was no classroom visit this week. Returning in Term 4, Year 3 will be the first class to attend Wednesday mass in Week 1 and then a classroom visit after mass. We encourage all families to come with your child to mass and then visit the classroom.
All mass times can be found in the All Saints Parish Bulletin and all other important information. A link can be found on the Parish Website: https://www.dow.org.au/parish/all-saints-catholic-parish-shellharbour-city
