Dear Parents and Families,

Welcome to Week 4, and what a lovely week we have had seeing all the students back at St Mary’s. Many excited children entered the gates on Monday morning so happy to see their friends and teachers.

Weekend Masses

All parents, families and friends are most welcome to join us at our weekend Masses now that the Churches are open. Weekend masses are at 6pm every Saturday and 10am on Sunday. There is also 8am Mass on Sunday morning for those living at Tuross. Father George and the parishioners would love to see our families and friends at any of these Masses. 

Mission Week 

A reminder that next week (Week 5) is our very special week when we raise money for the Missions. All money raised will go to educating and caring for young children and their families who would otherwise have no chance of an education. Each class at St Mary’s will have the opportunity to learn about the country of Thailand and engage in money-raising activities such as puppet making, art competitions and imovies. In Stage 2 the students will pay to have a mufti day and design and sell their hand painted mugs. Stage 3 students are looking forward to raising money for the Missions by wearing their pyjamas to school, paying to watch a movie and participate in a variety of games. We look forward to a wonderful week of learning and fun.

Who do you say I am?

Students were asked to represent Mary in the image they see her and explain why.

Get Well Wishes

We send our best wishes for a speedy recovery to Xavier H in Year 4 who had a very serious accident and is in Canberra Hospital. Get well soon Xavier from all the staff and your friends at St Mary’s.

Preparing for First Eucharist

The Year 4 students are working through their First Eucharist booklet at home in order to prepare to receive Jesus in the Eucharist on Sunday 14 November.

Our Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for your everlasting love. ...

We pray that you would help us to be kind to one another,

showing each other mercy, forgiveness and understanding.

Help us to share the love you've so generously shared with us.

As a family may we treat each other with compassion. AMEN

In all things may God be glorified
