Feast Day of St Mary of the Cross (Mary MacKillop)
Saturday 8th August is the Feast Day of Mary MacKillop. It is an extra special one this year as it is ten years since the canonisation of Australia's first saint.
We will be celebrating through three feast day fundraising activities on:
Tuesday- races on the oval / colouring in - second break
Wednesday - raffle- prize is $50 lunch order voucher
Thursday - icypoles at second break
and a Prayer Assembly on Friday.
The children will be asked to bring a gold coin each day if they would like to participate. No-one will be excluded from the races or colouring, however tickets in the raffle and icypoles will require a gold coin.
The funds raised will go to Mary MacKillop Today, the international charity run by the Sisters of St Joseph. This year the target project is the Mobile Kindy program in Fiji. Here is some information about this work
