Religious News:  Thursday the 9^th of November

This Saturday is Remembrance Day.  We stop, along with many other countries around the world for one minute of silence at 11:00 am, on the 11^th day of the 11^th month. This is in memory of the day the Armistice Agreement was signed to end World War 1. We take time to reflect on those who fought in the wars so that we may live in peace.  We pray for peace not only for ourselves but for everyone in our world.

Sacrament of Reconciliation

This will be celebrated on Tuesday the 14^th of November at 6:00pm in the St. Joseph’s Room.  We pray for Ivy and Lachlan as they continue on their Sacramental Journey.

Preparing children for the Sacrament of Reconciliation allows us to show them that God is love and that in mercy He is always ready to forgive, no matter what the wrong.  It assures them that God already knows the secrets of our hearts, but sometimes we need to name these aloud in order to prepare our hearts to renew the experience of God's love and forgiveness.  It shows them that just as God is One, God dreams that we might all be one as well--one with each other and one with God.  God's will is that all people will be reconciled with one another and with God.   What an extraordinary gift!

 Kind Regards,
