Holy Communion for 2020 Candidates - Important Reminder

 Here are the Zoom Links for our Holy Communion meetings for the parents and children who are in the postponed group from 2020. The meetings will be held on Monday 22 February.

 4:00pm https://dowcatholic.zoom.us/j/99883518243

 6:30pm  https://dowcatholic.zoom.us/j/97327533098

You may attend whichever of these meetings suits you best. There is no need to book in but you will need to have downloaded the zoom app to your device prior to the 22 February if you have not already done so. 

During this time we will be undertaking a brief revision of the 2020 program and explaining the arrangements for the sacrament. Holy Communion will be celebrated on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 March 2021.

Kind regards

Anne Sheldrick on behalf of the Parish Sacramental Team

Christian Meditation

Last week, we had a group of children from across the school trained in Christian Meditation. These students now support their class to lead them in this prayer form. Each day at 12 noon our entire school now stops and takes some time to be closer to God.

Year 6 Leadership Induction

Congratulations to our School Leaders for 2021. They formally received their badges at the Year 6 Leadership Mass and are now officially ready to take on this added responsibility.

Today marks the beginning of Lent and we joined together as a school to receive our ashes and reflect on our Lenten journey.

Our Mini Vinnies Team spoke and encouraged our School Community to donate money to Project Compassion. This money will be donated (along with the money from 30 other schools in our Diocese) to those people in need across Australia and the world. 

The theme this year is to ‘Be More’. Saint Oscar Romero said we have to ‘aspire not to have more, but BE more’. We are called to not only donate money but be more compassionate this Lent. We can do this by making simple changes in our lives - looking after the environment or giving our care and love to others. 

Today the eldest child of each family will receive their Project Compassion donation box. 

We would appreciate any donations for Project Compassion throughout this Lenten season.
