Shine Conference for Stage 5
The annual Shine gathering of Youth Ministry is for the Stage 5 students from Years 9 & 10 across the Archdiocese. We are sure that the students will embrace this opportunity to share with their peers for a day of Spiritual renewal, games, speakers, etc. The date for the event has been moved to Friday 28th October and is to be held at Merici College in Braddon, ACT. We are excited to be able to meet in person with students from across the Archdiocese once again this year.
First Eucharist
The Year 4 students (or older) who are eligible to make their First Eucharist, (having already made their First Reconciliation) will begin their preparation at the end of this term. The Parent Information evening will be held at the end of this term and further information will be sent home to Year 4 families this week. If you would like your child to be a part of the program and they are not currently a part of the Year 4 class, please contact Mrs Collins as soon as possible to ensure that you also receive the necessary information.

Altar servers
Please be in touch if you and your child are interested in them being involved and training as an altar server. If your child has made their First Eucharist in the Catholic Church they are eligible to serve. It is a beautiful way to serve in the Church and a necessary job that requires as much support as possible. Please email jacqueline.collins@cg.catholic.edu.au to add your child’s name to the list.
