Happy Sabbatical Week! I hope that you find some time to relax and slow down amongst a very busy term! Our classes have been busy engaging in mindfulness activities this week as part of Sabbatical Week.

Last week, we were greeted by a surprise visit from Fr Trenton to introduce Fr Alex to staff and students. Fr Alex is joining the Cathedral Parish team to support with school, parish and community. We look forward to working with both Fr Trenton and Fr Alex throughout the year.

A warm invitation to our final Parish Family Mass of the term on Sunday 27^th March, 9:30am at St Peter Chanel Parish, Yarralumla. Everyone is welcome to come and participate. There will be a morning tea at the conclusion of mass. Please bring a plate to share.  If you would like to assist with reading, altar serving or choir, please contact ben.macintyre@cg.catholic.edu.au with your expression of interest.

This year we will be hosting a ‘Purple Day’ in celebrating and recognising the season of Lent and showing our support for Project Compassion. We will confirm the date shortly. We kindly ask that you make a donation through Qkr! towards this initiative which supports the most vulnerable people in our world. 

Another friendly reminder to parents of Year 4 students intending on enrolling your child in our sacramental programs for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist that you will need to return your completed forms by the end of Term 1.

Best wishes,
