School Masses
Throughout the year the school gathers as a whole to celebrate the Eucharist. Parents are always welcome at these Masses. Prayer services are also held in the church to mark various aspects of the liturgical year.
Once a year each grade participates in a Parish Mass. This is always the 9:30am Sunday Mass. The students in years 3-6 are encouraged to attend an 8:30am weekday Mass with their class once a fortnight.
