Dear Parents/Carers,
Every Friday of Term staff, students and families are invited to attend 8am (8:00 – 8:25am) Mass at St Catherine of Siena Church. The term 'Mass' has its roots in the Latin word 'missa,' signifying 'mission' or 'sending.' This is because its intention is to send out the faithful to share the Good News of Jesus and embody His presence in the world. Additionally, it serves as a moment to express gratitude and praise to God, as reflected in the term 'Eucharist,' meaning thanksgiving.
Engaging in the Eucharistic celebration nourishes, transforms, and bring healing in our spiritual journey. It would be wonderful to have your presence.
