Confirmation

Confirmation workshops are continuing for Year 6 students making the Sacrament of Confirmation and next week will be the last week students need to attend these workshops. Just a reminder that it is important that parents please be on time when arriving at these workshop sessions.  If your child is attending a 3:00 pm workshop, you are required to pick your child up from school at 2:45 pm and accompany them to the Hall for a 3:00 pm start.  Supervision at school is only until 2:45 pm and teachers need to prepare for the workshop session.  These workshops are also an important time for you to have a conversation with your child regarding the workshop worksheets and their preparation for Confirmation.

Whole School Mass

Our next whole school mass is next Friday, 24 June.  We will be celebrating the Feast of the Sacred Heart.  Devotion to the Sacred Heart is one of the most widely practised and well-known devotions, taking Jesus' physical heart as the representation of his divine love for humanity. The devotion especially emphasises the unmitigated love, compassion, and long-suffering of the heart of Christ towards humanity. 

Class Masses

This week on Wednesday, Kindergarten and Year 5 attended Mass. Next Wednesday Year 1 and Year 6 will be attending.  It has been wonderful to see some parents and family members attending Wednesday Masses with the students. We welcome any parents, family members or friends who wish to join us at any of the Wednesday Masses.

Mini Vinnies 

Our Mini Vinnies group of students meet each fortnight. They are a committed and dedicated group of Year 5 and Year 6 students who are advocates wanting to put their values into action. This week at our meeting we have been discussing ideas for the Mini Vinnies Winter Appeal.  Keep your eyes out for our next fundraising event coming soon!

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
