Welcome Noel! Noel will be joining our class on

feel welcome.

seen the last of the wet weather for a while.
Thanks to all those who helped at our working bee on Saturday. I spent the weekend in Tauranga for my nephew’s
wedding.

write names of their loved ones who have died. Bring the names to the liturgy
and place in the basket as you enter. These names will be taken to the Church
where they will continue to be prayed for. Let your kids know this:-)

their families and are presented with some rosary beads. If you are able to get away from work for an
hour or so, we would really love to see you.
Following the Mass, Grandparents/Grandfriends are invited to share
morning tea with us. After morning tea
there will be performance by some of our school groups.
