Sacrament of Confirmation- 30th October 2022 

Our Year 6 children continue to prepare to celebrate and participate in the Sacrament of Confirmation. The Retreat Day will be held at school on Wednesday 26 October. We are very grateful that our Archbishop Christopher Prowse will speak to the students at the retreat. 

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults)

The RCIA program starts on Thursday 27 October at 7:30pm in the Dickson Parish Hall. The parish has recently had several inquiries from people about becoming a Catholic or completing their Sacraments. This is the inquiry night to find out more about the program. The program is also for anyone who would like to learn more about the riches of their Catholic Faith—through solid adult education. All are welcome.

Whole School Rosary

On Friday the students will participate in a Whole School Rosary led by Father Emil. This year we have joined the prayer initiative “A million children praying the Rosary”. The prayer campaign aims to ask for peace and unity throughout the world, while encouraging children and young people to trust in God during difficult times, In his text inviting people to participate in the initiative, international ACN president Cardinal Mario Piacenza writes:

“Looking around at all the wars and wickedness, the persecution, disease and fears that weigh upon our world, people might well ask, ‘Is God really in control?’”

“Yes, He is,” Cardinal Piacenza responds, “but we must also reach out for His outstretched hands and cling to Him. God has reached out to us, through Mary. We believe that if we faithfully recite the Rosary together, then the holy Mother of God will lead us all as one great family into the loving arms of our heavenly Father.”

Yours in Christ,
