Our Vision
Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B From Our Parish Priest First Communions: Welcome to another 32 young parishioners who are making their First Holy Communion this weekend. We celebrate with them and their families this final step that makes them full members of our Church and of our parish family. Offering a separate chalice to each child and their family members worked very well last week, so we will continue doing this for the next few weekends. Hopefully it won’t be long before the swine flu danger has passed, and we can restore the chalice regularly to all our people.
Good News for our Schools: In recent days it has been announced that both our parish Primary School and St Paul’s Catholic College have received substantial grants for new buildings under the Commonwealth Government’s programme to boost the economy by strengthening education. Our Primary School has had plans approved to refurbish the kindergarten block, and to construct a new two-storey block to accommodate a whole year grade (ie 4 classes) on each level, where the present grade one rooms are located. This will allow greater flexibility by developing more “agile learning environments” to meet the individual needs of students. And St Paul’s is also one of the few high schools in our diocese to have had their plans approved for a new building to provide better language learning facilities for our students.
