Dear Parents, This week and next, 49 children from St Francis Xavier, Holy Family and the public schools within our parish are celebrating their First Holy Communion. It is wonderful that Fr Peter and Fr Anselm have been able to administer these celebrations. Congratulations to all children who made this sacrament during the week and best wishes to those who will be doing so next week. Due to current restrictions we were unable to host our annual Fathers’ Day breakfast and Liturgy this year. This celebration would have taken place on Monday this week. I hope all our dads and grandfathers enjoyed a lovely day last Sunday to celebrate the special role they play in their families. The Catholic Schools Office Lismore developed a framework to present a “shared depth of understanding about the purpose and nature of our collective work regarding the mission and vision of the system and the schools to focus our efforts on supporting the fullness of life for each of our students.” The Fullness of Life Framework consists of a number of domains. On Tuesday afternoon this week, our staff worked through a professional development session on the Learning and Teaching Domain of this document. We unpacked the document to develop a deeper shared understanding of its purpose and most important elements. Yesterday we welcomed John and Jules, Youth Ministry Officers from Xavier Catholic College who filmed a number of students from across the grades in preparation for the XCC Year 12 students' graduation celebrations. Our children did a wonderful job presenting in front of the camera. I know their efforts will be well appreciated by our really, really big buddies at XCC. I wish you all a safe and happy week.

Dear Parents,
This week and next, 49 children from St Francis Xavier, Holy Family and the public
schools within our parish are celebrating their First Holy Communion. It is wonderful
that Fr Peter and Fr Anselm have been able to administer these celebrations.
Congratulations to all children who made this sacrament during the week and best
wishes to those who will be doing so next week.
Due to current restrictions we were unable to host our annual Fathers’ Day breakfast and Liturgy this
year. This celebration would have taken place on Monday this week. I hope all our dads and grandfathers
enjoyed a lovely day last Sunday to celebrate the special role they play in their families.
The Catholic Schools Office Lismore developed a framework to present a “shared depth of understanding
about the purpose and nature of our collective work regarding the mission and vision of the system and the
schools to focus our efforts on supporting the fullness of life for each of our students.” The Fullness of Life
Framework consists of a number of domains. On Tuesday afternoon this week, our staff worked through a
professional development session on the Learning and Teaching Domain of this document. We unpacked the
document to develop a deeper shared understanding of its purpose and most important elements.
Yesterday we welcomed John and Jules, Youth Ministry Officers from Xavier Catholic College who filmed a
number of students from across the grades in preparation for the XCC Year 12 students' graduation
celebrations. Our children did a wonderful job presenting in front of the camera. I know their efforts will be
well appreciated by our really, really big buddies at XCC.
