CONGRATULATIONS 

There have been many children from our Year 3 class, receive their First Holy Communion over the last six weeks. The candidates have been presenting themselves at parish masses, within the Lumen Christi Catholic Parishes, with their family and parish community supporting them at this time. 

Congratulations to all our children as they continue their journey in their Catholic faith.

OCTOBER - MONTH OF THE ROSARY

This month, as Catholics, we have a special prayer focus in the Rosary. The Rosary is a special communal mantra prayer that includes the prayers that we all know, the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be. It is a  prayer that honours Mary, while focusing on the events in the life of Jesus Christ.  It is a powerful prayer, that when shared, can transform a family’s spiritual life.

ALL SAINTS AND ALL SOULS DAY

We celebrate two important feasts in our Catholic Church in November, All Saints Day and All Souls Day.    

All Saints Day is a solemn holy day of the Catholic Church celebrated annually on November 1. The day is dedicated to the saints of the Church, that is, all those who have attained heaven. It’s important for us to remember that those we call ‘saints’ were ordinary people like us! But although they were like us, many of these people achieved extraordinary things. How did they do it? It was because of their faith! There is a saying that faith can move mountains. A saint is someone who never gave up believing! These men and women of faith set a great example for us today.   

In Christianity, All Souls Day commemorates All Souls, the Holy Souls, or the Faithful Departed. On this Feast of All Souls, we remember those who have gone before us in faith. Our loved ones are always present with us in our hearts and in our memories. In our Catholic tradition, we call them the Communion of Saints.
