PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Last Sunday, the Church celebrated the Feast of Corpus Christi, a day that provides an opportinuty for us to focus on Christ's real presence in the Eucharist. As Pope Francis reminds us, "Every year the feast of Corpus Christi invites us to renew the wonder and joy for this wonderful gift of the Lord, which is the Eucharist".
The Sacrament of Eucharist is at the very centre of our faith. Each time we celebrate Mass we remember and reenact the institution of the Sacrament of Eucharist at the Last Supper and celebrate Christ's presence in the world today. During my short time here at St Brigid's I was extremely priviledged to join Years 1 and 5 for a Thursday morning Parish Mass and to once again share Eucharist with members of St Brigid's Parish and School. Sharing Eucharist together is at the very heart of our Catholic identity here at St Brigid's and I would encourage parents, who are able, to join with their children for worship at the weekly Thursday Parish Mass commencing at 9.30am.
The Eucharist will hold special significance this year, for our Year 3 students who are invited to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation and the Sacrament of Eucharist for the first time next term. Receiving the Sacraments is a very blessed time in our journey of faith, and one that continues to nourish us through our lives.
Sacramental Program Term 3 - The Sacrament of Reconciliation and the Sacrament of Eucharist.
Important Date: Parent Information Evening, Monday 17 July commencing at 6.30pm at St Brigid's School Hall.
