RE Happenings
St Matthews Way Value - Term 1
Excellence should be exemplified by consistently and intentionally improving upon oneself day after day. Excellence is important and we need to understand that it does not necessarily mean competition, but simply improving upon oneself consistently.
What action of your family’s life could be improved, even if it was something minor?
Some examples may include:
- Listening
- Kindness
- Sharing
- Giving
- Helping
- Reassurances
- Positivity
Parish Mass
Each week, starting from Week 3, our Primary grades will be given the opportunity to attend a parish mass. These will generally be on a Thursday morning at 9:10am. Our students take on a role at the mass and families are more than welcome to attend.
Sacramental Program
St Matthews will once again support the Parish-led Sacramental Program for students in Years 3 and 6 who wish to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Communion (Year 3) and Confirmation (Year 6).
The Sacrament dates are:
- Confirmation- Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd June 2025
- Reconciliation- Tuesday 2nd September 2025
- FHC- Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th November 2025
If your child is not Catholic or has missed a Sacrament and would like to receive the Sacraments please contact the Parish office or School. SMCS has previously assisted in the formation and preparation for children to receive any of these.
