Religious Identity and Mission

01.07.21

Dear Families, 

Thank you for your commitment to our school and ongoing collaboration with staff this term. 

As we work together acknowledging our children's strengths and challenges, we also acknowledge our own skills and passions that we bring to the community.  Each diverse, yet needed, each shared uniquely and ready to use to enhance the learning of our children. 

 

There have been a number of school and parish events that keep us connected and in contact with our Catholic Identity: 

  • Weekly Masses and liturgies 

  • Sacramental Program 

  • Reconciliation Week 

  • Vinnies Winter Appeal 

  • Reception Transition Program 

 

Next term we prepare for: 

  • The Feast of St Mary of the Cross Mackillop - August 8th 

  • The Assumption of Blessed Mary Mother of Jesus - August 15th 

  • Vinnies Can Drive 

  • Catholic Missions - Socktober 

  • Catholic Charities - fundraiser 

  • Religious Literacy Assessment - ReLAT (Year 4)

Adelaide Diocesan Assembly 

The Archdiocese of Adelaide will be holding a Diocesan Assembly this September. The Diocesan Assembly is a meeting of representatives from parishes, schools, communities and groups to discuss the life of our local church, discern a new vision for the diocese and prepare for the upcoming Plenary Council. 

Individuals and groups are invited to respond to the pre-assembly consultation question, 

“What do you think are the most important things to discuss at the Diocesan Assembly?” 

For more information on the Diocesan Assembly, and to share your response to the consultation question, visit www.adelaidediocesanassembly.org or contact Sarah Moffatt in the Diocesan Offices.
