Our Year 1 and 2 students recently attended Parish Mass with Father Emmanuel. This was Father's first Mass with our primary students. The students enjoyed his homily, and he even taught them the song "Jesus Loves Me". Thank you, Father Emmanuel.
We look forward to attending more of our Parish Masses with you 🙏💛💙

Please pray for Pope Leo’s health and recovery…

Lord Jesus, Good Shepherd, we thank you for Pope Leo to whom You have entrusted the loving care of Your sheep.

Grant, we pray, Your guidance and blessing to the medical staff responsible for his care, and good health, a swift recovering and peace to our Holy Father, Pope Leo.
Amen

Pope Leo XIV will be admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital “late on Tuesday morning” where he will undergo surgery to remove a “small, localized lung nodule,” requiring changes to his scheduled events, according to Matteo Bruni, Director of the Holy See Press Office.

Responding to journalists’ questions about the Pope’s health on Monday, Mr. Bruni clarified that the examinations had been routine checks.

He confirmed that the Pope’s hospital stay following surgery is expected to last approximately one week.

The Pope will not take part in the afternoon session of the meeting in the Paul VI Hall marking the tenth anniversary of the publication of “Amoris laetitia.”

Pope Leo XIV has also asked Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, Pro-Prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization and new Dean of the College of Cardinals, to preside at the Mass on Wednesday, October 14, in St. Peter’s Square, with the meeting’s participants, including heads of Eastern Churches, Presidents of Bishops’ Conferences, married couples, and experts.

This morning, Fr Emmanuel celebrated his first Mass with students. Yr 1 & 2 children were such lovely to watch as they joyfully sing, bringing so much life and happiness to our celebration. Their enthusiastic participation made the Mass truly special.

‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.’ (Luke 18:16)

We give thanks today for all police officers who serve our communities with courage, dedication and compassion.
We remember with gratitude those police officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. May they rest in Your eternal peace, and may You bring comfort to their families, friends and colleagues.
Lord, watch over all who serve and keep them safe.
May their service continue to bring peace, justice and protection to our community.
