PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Put simply by Mother Teresa, “Saints are only sinners who keep trying.” As we are reminded to imitate the goodness of the saints this week, we do so with the comfort of knowing that God’s love is never too far out of reach. Knowing we are always loved; our goal then is to simply keep trying for goodness. Venerated or not, this is the path to holiness.
Officially known as the “Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed,” All Souls’ Day is a day to celebrate, honour, and pray for all those who have died to rest peacefully with God.
“Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon
them. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through
the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.”

The purpose of these nights is to:

explain why we as Catholics do the things we do.

3: create a space where people can deepen their understanding of
the faith, engage in conversation with like-minded people and be
multigenerational.
4: create a group where the future generation of the Church can
meet, learn, form friendships and feel a part of a Parish family.
5: deepen Catholic bonds within the parish and school with a family
focus.
6: create an environment where people can talk about faith openly.
The Family Faith Night gatherings are open to everyone, young and old with only a gold coin donation to cover resources. The Family Faith Night Team look forward to meeting you. If you are interested please contact Jody at the parish office on 4274 1192.
