Welcome Community Hospitality
Celebrating our Feast of St Clare of Montefalco at Wongaling Beach
Thank you to all families who were be able to join us in sharing the joy and excitement of our St Clare’s Feast Day at the beach on Friday. Even though the weather wasn’t the best, everyone shared in the Mass and enjoyed the activities on the beach and the Splash Pad. Thanks to our wonderful P & F who fed everyone at lunch with a delicious sausage sizzle.
Sacramental Program:
We had a very successful Confirmation and First Eucharist preparation day on Sunday. Thank you to our candidates and their parents for their commitment and support of this important event in the continued development of their child’s faith formation. Thank you also to Tania Gilbert who generously gives of her time to facilitate the Sacramental Program.
This week, the Sacrament of Confirmation will be held at St Clare’s Church at 6pm on Friday and the Sacrament of the First Eucharist on Sunday morning at 9am. We warmly invite members of the school and parish community to join us in celebrating these important events. Let us keep the sacramental candidates in our prayers.
PRAYER FOR CONFIRMATION CANDIDATES:
Lord, You send out Your Spirit to touch the hearts of all people,
so that they may believe in You and in Jesus whom You sent.
Look kindly on all candidates for Confirmation as they listen to Your voice.
Open their hearts to Your Spirit and bring to fulfilment the good work that You have begun in them.
As we prepare these children for Confirmation, make each of us an instrument of Your love.
Teach us to appreciate what is holy in others, and to be patient with what we do not understand.
Deepen our faith in the Gospel and help us to pass it on by our example.
We pray that You will continue to guide us and sustain us.
Through Christ our Lord,
Amen.

The Feast of the Assumption Mass
Although the Feast of the Assumption was set in the liturgical calendar for last Tuesday, Fr Hilary was away and a Mass will be held at St Clare’s Church this afternoon at 5:30pm to celebrate this feast. All are very welcome to attend.
May the Grace of God be with you,
