Report on the Sanctity of Life Weekend 

Gladstone Parish 

The Gladstone Parish joined the rest of the diocese in celebrating the Sanctity of Life weekend. The following were the highlights of the activities:

• "Life is Sacred - What the Church Teaches" written by Fr. Simeon Uchendu and published for the Bulletin.
• Copies of Bishop Michael's letter inserted into the Parish Bulletin.
• The Homily focused on life.
• We celebrated Exposition and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament by 5pm on Sunday 4th October.  We prayed the Rosary of Life - Glorious Mystery led by Jennett O'Mullane.  Included in the service were readings from John Paul II.  The Service concluded with Benediction.

NAIDOC Celebrations

What a terrific day! The Prep students and Indigenous students from St Francis Primary School, Tannum Sands, were invited to NAIDOC celebrations. Our students were immersed in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural activities with Indigenous students and staff at Chanel College.

St Francis of Assisi Feast Day at St Francis Primary School

Just like St Francis, our hearts were filled with the joy of our faith as we celebrated Eucharist at our Feast Day Mass!
