A reminder that there is only one Mass at 9.30am on Sundays in July. Tomorrow Fr Peter will preside and Fr Thomas will preach.
In the gospel, Jesus says "Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

In recognition of their unwavering support of the Year 2 Strings Program, the Year 2 teaching team has embraced the many disruptions that come with an instrumental program with positivity, flexibility and genuine enthusiasm.
