SCHOOL MASS
Please join us at St Joseph’s Church on Friday 24 March at 9.15am to celebrate our first Mass of the 2023 school year. We are really excited to be gathering at the church for this celebration. In recent years all of our Masses have been in the Marist Centre or in the Fr Bucas Centre at Holy Spirit College. All welcome. Students need to wear blue day uniform. Girls to wear dresses please. We will travel to and from the church by bus. Seating has been reserved for parents on the side of the Baptismal Font. The school office will be closed from 9am - 11am as all staff will be attending the Mass. Parents are asked not to park in the bus bays directly in front of the church. This is a safety issue. 
HOLY WEEK
Holy Week, which precedes the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday, is the most important week of the church year. It starts on Palm Sunday, sometimes called Passion Sunday, and continues through Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Saturday. During Holy Week we remember Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, last supper, agony in the garden, betrayal, passion and death on the cross. We remember that Jesus’ body was placed in the tomb. The week that begins in celebration ends in despair. It is not until Easter Sunday that we rejoice in and recall Jesus’ resurrection. This year, Holy Week falls in the first week of the school holidays. Our Year Six students will lead us in a special Prayer Celebration on Thursday 30 March. They will share the events of Holy Week and lead us through the Stations of the Cross. It will take place in the Marist Centre at 9:30am. All welcome. TIME TO SWITCH OFF
Tomorrow we will take part in World Earth Hour’s school event. Lights, screens and all devices will be turned off in classrooms between 2:00pm and 3:00pm. In joining this action, we promote the care of our planet, reduce the use of energy and walk in solidarity with our with our brothers and sisters around the world who do not have electricity. This is in line with the Pope’s encyclical Laudato Si and Catholic Social Teachings. You might like to consider participating in Saturday night’s Earth Hour from 8:30pm. ‘Time Out For Nature’ is Australia’s theme this year. Together we can make a difference.

LENTEN CHALLENGE
Our ‘FARMITAS’ campaign is off to a great start. Lots of students have already bought FARMITAS tokens - chicks, goats, pigs, seeds and cows - and they have been added to the sacred space in their classrooms. Buying these tokens will help to provide a welcome source of food and income for needy families in different parts of the world. Students who buy seeds will also receive a seed kit to take home. It will be fun to watch the seeds grow throughout LENT – just as we grow in love and our small contributions grow together to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. The class that buys the most chicks, goats, seeds and cows will lead the school in a special dance at Assembly in Week Ten. |
