First Eucharist

This evening the Year 4 students will be celebrating the Sacrament of First Eucharist. Tuesday was a wonderful retreat day, where the students practiced for tonight, got to taste the unblessed bread for the first time, reflected on their relationship with God, completed quiz questions about their recall of all that they have learnt in preparation for this Sacrament and laughed their way through the day. The whole class is to be commended for the amazing way in which they embraced the other candidates and applied themselves so eagerly to their preparations. 

I am sure that tonight will be a beautiful experience for each of the candidates and we all wish them the very best for their First Eucharist. To the candidates:

May you always know the comfort and support of Jesus’ love and may this first reception of Jesus in the Eucharist be a treasured moment for you always.

Religious Curriculum Update

The Catholic Education Office Canberra Goulburn began the transition to a new Religious Curriculum last year and we have had the ongoing support of the office during the transition and implementation phases under the guidance of Antoinette Woods and Lee Herden. We are very pleased that the feedback we have received again this week is very positive, at St Annes we are moving along well and continue to increase the rigor and depth in our units of study K-10.
