Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity is the first Sunday after Pentecost. Trinity Sunday celebrates the Christian belief of the Trinity, the three Persons of God; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Come Holy Spirit

Fill the hearts of your faithful

And kindle them in the fire of your love

Send forth your Spirit and they should be created

And you shall renew th face of the earth.

Amen

First Friday Mass
Thank you to Year 1/2 Blue who lead our school community in Mass last Friday. It was a beautiful celebration which included a liturgical movement to the much loved song My Lighthouse. Also, thank you to our energetic school choir and the  families who provided for the morning tea. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Kindergarten Class Parish Mass
Kindergarten will be joining the parish this Sunday (16^th June) to celebrate Mass.  We ask that those who have children in Kindergarten to make a special effort to attend the school’s Parish Mass. The parish choir will be at this Mass and warmly welcome anyone to join in singing. If you are planning to attend Mass on Sunday and would like your child (or any family member) to have a formal role such as a reading, bringing forth the offertory or the Gospel procession, please email:

Mini Vinnies Winter Woolies Day
Our Mini Vinnies are beginning to organise our annual Winter Woollies Day (whole school event) which will be held Friday 28^th June to raise awareness about the issue of homelessness in Canberra as well as donations for the St Vincent de Paul Night Patrol Van. In preparation for this we ask that all families begin collecting adult size winter clothing, as well as blankets and sleeping bags. Donations can be second-hand or new. Please store these at home until Winter Woollies Day, as we do not have the capacity to store these at school.

For more information about the Canberra Night Patrol Van, please visit https://www.vinnies.org.au/page/Find_Help/ACT/Food/Night_Patrol/

Families who wish to make a monetary donation might consider purchasing an incredible ‘Backpack Bed’- Backpack with storage that rolls out into an all-weather protected bed. These are an extremely ‘precious’ item that is handed out from the Night Patrol Van to those who are ‘sleeping rough’.

All meal donations can be brought to the Front Office. If your family requires temporary meal assistance, you can speak in confidence to any of our staff members.
