In preparation for the construction of our new hall, a working bee will be held to move
surplus furniture and equipment from the Library, Tuckshop, Outside School Hours Care
and store rooms into containers this Saturday, 13 February, from 8.00am. Please plan
to join us, as many hands will make light work! (Please note that this is an extra working
bee for the year. The regularly scheduled working bee for Term 1 will be held in March.)
Futsal Trials were held last Wednesday and teams were selected to represent the
school at the Futsal State Titles later this term. Thank you to the members of staff and
parents who have accepted coaching responsibilities for these teams!
Please keep our Yrs 6 & 7 children in your thoughts and prayers during their exciting
sojourn at Tallebudgera Beach for Seniors Camp this week! The bus will return on
Wednesday afternoon.
Ash Wednesday 17th February, 8.50am
All members of our St Stephen’s Community are invited
to participate with us in a liturgy to celebrate the
beginning of Lent. Parishioners who live in the area are
also welcome to join us but, as our parish priests are very
busy on this day, we will not be having a Mass. Our
children will conduct the liturgy.
Sacramental Program
Each
year, Our Lady of Lourdes and Our
Lady of Fatima Parish offers a
Sacramental Program which helps to
prepare children for the Sacraments of
Reconciliation (previously known as the
Sacrament of Penance), Confirmation and Eucharist
(First Communion). This program is offered to all
children in the parish, from Yr 3. If older children in the
school have not yet had the opportunity to participate
in this program, they are also very welcome.
The co-ordinators of the program are Damian and
Susan.
An information evening will be held on Thursday,
11 February at 6.30pm in the Paloma Reception
Centre. The theme of the evening is: My child is
receiving the Sacraments this year—what do I
need to do and know?
For those new to the parish, the Paloma Centre is
situated beside Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Mains
Rd, Sunnybank.
If you require further information before then, please
feel free to call Damian or Susan on 0407 112354
(after 4.00pm on a weekday), or e-mail them at
damiang@bigpond.com
