๐ŸŒฟโœจ **Year 6 Retreat Day at Schoenstatt โ€“ A Beautiful Day of Reflection and Growth** โœจ๐ŸŒฟ Today our Year 6 students experienced a retreat day at the peaceful Schoenstatt Grounds. In collaboration with Mary Mackillop, Our Lady of the Rosary and St Joseph's and further led by the inspiring Jesuit Outreach Program, the retreat offered our students a chance to pause, reflect, and connect more deeply with themselves, each other, and their faith. We were so proud to witness such beautiful behaviour and wholehearted participation throughout the day. From thoughtful discussions to quiet moments of prayer and group activities, our students embraced the opportunity to grow spiritually and emotionally. A heartfelt thank you to the facilitators from Jesuit Outreach for sharing their experiences and to all who helped make this day meaningful. ๐ŸŒŸ \#Year6Retreat #Schoenstatt #JesuitOutreach #FaithInAction #GrowingHeartsAndMinds #BeautifulBehaviour #Stage3Journey

๐ŸŒธ Happy Motherโ€™s Day! ๐ŸŒธ This morning we began our Mother's Day celebrations with breakfast, filled with smiles, delicious treats and the joyful sound of families spending time together. After breakfast we progressed to a Motherโ€™s Day Mass, giving thanks for the incredible mothers, grandmothers, and other mother figures in our lives. It was a special time to reflect, pray, and share love as a school community. Thank you to everyone who helped make the morning so meaningful โ€” especially our volunteers and staff. And most of all, thank you to our amazing mums. We appreciate you today and every day! ๐Ÿ’โค๏ธ #MothersDay #SchoolCommunity #Gratitude #Celebration

๐Ÿ™ Together in Prayer for Pope Francis ๐Ÿ™ With heavy hearts, we join the global Catholic community in mourning the passing of Pope Francis, who passed away on Easter Monday. As a community of faith, we reflect on his enduring legacy of solidarity with those in need and his tireless advocacy for the care of our common home, the Earth. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’š Catholic Schools in our diocese, united in prayer, honour the life and teachings of the Holy Father, who inspired us all to reach out in love and compassion, especially to the marginalised and vulnerable. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ Jack de Groot, CEO of Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese, shares a personal memory from his time as CEO of Caritas Australia: "I had the great joy of meeting Pope Francis only a few weeks after he became Pope. He was clearly passionately interested in people struggling in times of war and those who were isolated from the Church." Let us come together in prayer, remembering Pope Francis and his unwavering call to serve others, especially those in need. May his example continue to inspire us all in our mission of faith, love, and justice. โœ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ซ
