25.01.2022 Mass & Morning Tea Friday 14th August 9.30am The Feast of the Assumption of Mary is this Saturday. Our Year 3-6 students will celebrate Mass for the Feast tomorrow at 9.30am. All families from Reception to Year 6 are invited to attend. Due to COVID-19 restrictions you are required to register your name via your child’s class teacher if you plan to attend. This will ensure we do not exceed the allowed number inside the church building. Following Mass our Parents and Friends Committee are hosting a community morning tea in the MPF Cafeteria area. Please stay for some refreshments.
