Family Mass for Reconciliation Candidates

Hopefully you received an email from Anne Foster, our Parish Sacramental coordinator this week with an update on reconciliation.

This Sunday afternoon November 7, we will acknowledge our Reconciliation candidates at the 5pm Family Mass.

Due to COVID restrictions we will need to hold this Mass at our Holy Family Church in Ulladulla. Although we are restricted to 2 people per family- the candidate and one other, this is a very important part of the preparation process. Please remember to RSVP to Anne to allow for a fast check in process. (fosterja@outlook.com or 0402 904 188) Please arrive in plenty of time to avoid crowding at the church door. Please bring your completed booklet 'Preparing to Make Peace' and we will make reference to it during the Mass.

If your child would feel comfortable reading during the mass, please email me ASAP so I can prepare them this week.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

Sacrament of First Reconciliation: Friday, 12 November, 6.00pm, Holy Family Church, Ulladulla

Due to Covid restrictions, numbers will be limited to candidate, accompanied by two others, and you are asked pre-register to Anne Foster (fosterja@outlook.com or 0402 904 188)

Please arrive in plenty of time to avoid crowding at the church door.

We have had some enquiries re dress code for 12 November.  There are no special requirements – just as if going out for dinner or for a party.

Thank you for your patience with the very different way we have had to approach preparation for and arrangements for this Sacrament over the past two years.

Holy Communion

Your child has now received their booklet for the preparation process. Please take the time to work through this with your child to prepare them for the sacrament. As the current COVID restrictions are changing we will be in touch with you once the plan is finalised.

St Mary’s Feast Day

We are celebrating St Mary’s feast day on Friday 12 November. We will be celebrating Grandparents day as well.

We will hold an assembly at 9:30am via Zoom where we will be acknowledging the significant role Grandparents play in the lives of our students. Please email photos or videos of your child with their grandparent to Mrs Peters or the office so we can put together an iMovie of thanks. Your child might like to finish the following sentences:

• I love my Nan/Pop because…
• My Grandma/Grandpa is special to me because…
• Something my Nonna/Nonno has taught me is…

We will be holding a complimentary sausage sizzle for lunch and ice block to celebrate our wonderful school. If your child needs more for lunch than one sausage sandwich, please pack additional food. If you would not like your child/ren to participate in the sausage sizzle/iceblock, please let the office know.

Year 6 will be hosting a cake stall from second break so students are encouraged to bring in $2 to purchase a cake.
