Mass for Deceased Priests Last Friday, our St Nicholas of Myra Stage 2 and Stage 3 students joined the Parish community for the 2026 Mass for Deceased Priests, led by the Very Reverend Father Peter Williams, Vicar General of the Diocese of Parramatta. Following the Mass, our Year 6 students generously assisted at the luncheon, taking the opportunity to interact with parishioners and priests. We love seeing our students engage so positively with others, represent their school community with pride and demonstrate the importance of putting others before themselves through acts of service. We also congratulate Olivia from Year 5, who served as an altar server during the Mass and Blessing. Olivia, it is wonderful to see you living out your faith and demonstrating such responsibility and commitment at such a young age. These moments are a beautiful reflection of our Catholic faith in action, as our students continue to live the way of Christ through faith, service and care for others.

π𧦠Our Faith in Action β Socktober! π§¦π Socktober is a powerful way to bring communities together during Mission Month to support children in need around the world. Today, our St Nicholas of Myra students proudly wore their crazy socks and made donations in support of Mission Month! π Students also participated in Religious Education activities to deepen their understanding of the lives and experiences of children in different parts of the world, building empathy, awareness and a sense of global responsibility. We also came together for a fun soccer match between students and teachers! β½ It was a wonderful opportunity to share some laughs, build connections and strengthen our sense of community while supporting an important cause. Through these activities, we are reminded that our faith calls us to look beyond ourselves, recognise the dignity of every person and take action to make a difference in the lives of others. By learning about the challenges faced by children around the world, our students are encouraged to live out the Gospel values of Faith, Love and Service. π βWhoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord.β β Proverbs 19:17 May we continue to put our faith into action by showing compassion, sharing what we have and standing alongside those most in need. β€οΈπ
