St Vincent De Paul Christmas Appeal

Many thanks to those who have already sent in donations. The local Conference of the St Vincent De Paul Society appreciates all donations. As they pack the hampers, they try to create a Christmas dinner for their clients. So the tinned vegetables are valuable as are the sweet items! Health and Safety regulations require us to check use by dates and not include food that will expire before Christmas. In the past St Monica’s School has been one of the major contributors to the 50 Hampers packed and distributed in our local parish. Let’s continue the tradition! Classes have been allocated differing items.

  6E - Minced pies and fruit tarts

  6M - Long life custard & packets of jelly crystals     

  5MF - Sweet and savoury biscuits

  5W - packets of muesli bars/fruit bars

  5FH - Tinned vegetables beetroot, potatoes

Thanksgiving Mass

St Monica’s School will gather for our Thanksgiving Mass on Wednesday 4 December. We will celebrate all our major achievements and give thanks for the year together. We have achieved great things.  You will find a special invitation in this week’s newsletter for all our wonderful volunteers and anyone who has supported us in anyway across the year to join with us at this Mass.

At this Mass we also present the St Vincent De Paul Society with some of the goods we are collecting for their Christmas Appeal.

Sacrament of Reconciliation

Just a reminder that QkR! is still open for those who have not as yet paid their $30. The money covers printing, paper laminating, wooden hearts and hire of stoles.
