Please keep staff and children and their families of St. Bede’s at Braidwood, St. Bernard’s Batemans Bay and Carroll College Broulee in your prayers. They have been affected by fires,extreme temperatures and road closures. Christmas for some will be bleak.

In the second week of Advent, a second purple candle is lit.  It represents faith, and is called the ‘Bethlehem Candle’.  A reminder of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem.  We are reminded that God gave us the greatest love in the little town of Bethlehem in a humble manger.

Our Year 6 and Giving Mass is this Thursday 12th December at 10:00 am.  Baskets for our contribution to St. Vincent de Paul Christmas hampers are at the front office of school.  Items can be dropped off up until Thursday morning.

We would love to see you on Thursday. Come and have a cup of tea after Mass...
