FIRST COMMUNION

The Sacrament of First Holy Communion will be held in the St Paul’s Parish on Saturday 13 September at 6:00pm and Sunday 14 September at 9:00am. Please keep in your prayers the students who will receive the Eucharist for the first time.

SEASON OF CREATION

The Season of Creation is a time to renew our relationship with our Creator and all creation through celebration, conversion, and commitment together. During the Season of Creation, we join our sisters and brothers in the ecumenical family in prayer and action for our common home.

The Symbol: The Garden of Peace

The symbol for 2025, the Garden of Peace, features a dove carrying an olive branch. Just as Noah’s dove returned with a sign of renewal after the flood (Genesis 6:13), we too seek a world where peace flourishes as we reach out to each other and connect with all creation.

STUDENT ATTENDANCE AT FRIDAY MASS

This term, some grades will attend Mass with the Parish members at 9.30am (weather permitting). Please note a change to this timetable. Parents are welcome to join us.

WORLD MISSION MONTH

Catholic Mission, as the Australian agency of the Pontifical Mission Society contributes funding and provides project support to critical church-run initiatives in Africa, Asia, Oceania and South America as well as remote dioceses within Australia. Catholic Mission creates opportunities for people to be formed in mission, and respond through prayer, fundraising and action, inspiring them to reach out, and give life—within Australia and around the world. All of us engage in mission when we proclaim our faith through our words, actions and lives.

The Diocesan Launch for World Mission Month is on the 11 September at Magdalene Catholic College. 

Early Term 4, St Paul’s students will be raising money to support the Catholic Mission.
