Hi families,

This week HFCS is celebrating Mission Week, with Mission Day on Friday 31 May.

Each class will be asked to organise an activity or stall on the day. Please note that this year there will not be any food stalls. As we have done in the past, students will only be able to use tokens to purchase items and participate in the activities, as we do not take money at the stalls.  The purchase of tokens will be available on Friday 31 May from the class teachers or by pre-purchasing the tokens through the QKR! App (this is our preferred option).

Tokens are available in 10c portions with a page of tokens costing $5.

All money raised for Mission Week will go to St Vincent de Paul, Catherine House and Catholic Charities.

We will also be asking families to bring in a can of soup/non-perishable food to donate to Fred’s Van.

N.B. Students are to be in SCHOOL UNIFORM on MissionDay.

Please find below a timetable of Mission Day:

Parents are welcome to attend the Mission Day Mass at 11:30am, and later the activities commencing at 1.30pm. (Please sign in at the front office on arrival)

MISSION DAY LUNCH

Students will be able to pre-order a Mission Day lunch of Pasta Bake and water/fruit box through the canteen or QKR! App.  The normal canteen menu for lunch orders will not be available on Mission Day, however, the canteen will still be open at Recess.

We would love to see you all 💛

Today, 14^th February, as Catholics we are celebrating Ash Wednesday.

Ash Wednesday places Catholics and Christians in the place of Jesus’ entry into the desert before His death. It is a symbolic turning of one’s heart towards God, recognising the brokenness that exists and the need for salvation.

The ash is meant to communicate grief and sorrow over sins and repentance through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. Ash Wednesday initiates the 40-day period of Lent, during which we reflect on Jesus’ 40-day fast and temptation in the desert.

Traditionally, this day and Good Friday are days of fasting and abstinence for Catholic adults but not our students. Lent is a penitential season of prayer, self-denial and helping others where the Church prepares for Easter.

We will be having a Whole School Mass for Ash Wednesday at 11:30am in the Hall and it will be celebrated by Fr Shibu.

Our seniors, the Year 5/6 students will be assisting with prayer of the Faithful.

We Hope to see you at Mass today 💛
