Welcome   Community   Hospitality

Welcome back to Term 2! I hope that our St Clare’s families have had a restful Easter break and are ready for the business that this Term will bring. Last week, pamphlets regarding the 2022 Sacramental Program were handed out to interested students in Year 4 and above. For those families who would like their child to participate in the 2022 Sacramental Program, please note that you need to inform either the Tully Parish (40681 143, tully.parish@cairns.catholic.org.au) or me (0419 170 931) by THIS Friday April 29. If your child did not receive a pamphlet and you are interested in having them participate, please get in touch with me.

There are not very many professions where you are unable to take holidays for 2 years, so I am pleased to say that our very hardworking parish priest, Father Joby, will be taking a much deserved break for the majority of this term. We are very grateful for Father Joby’s ongoing commitment to our school and parish and hope that he is able to enjoy some long awaited family time. Before he sets off, the staff of St Clare’s will celebrate his birthday which falls on May 1. If you happen to see Father Joby around this week, please wish him a ‘Happy Birthday’.  In his absence, Father Peter Miller, followed by Father Kerry Costigan, will relieve the priest’s position in Tully. We look forward to welcoming both of these priests to our school community during this time.

With Blessings
