Christmas Food Drive – Grenfell Food Hall

We have already received some wonderful donations of food for our Christmas Food Drive. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity. Each week there will be a new category for the donations. This week we have been collecting food that comes in a box and next week we are looking for donations of treat foods. Please scour your cupboards and send these items in if you can.

Below is a list of the items we will be collecting on a week-by-week basis, but we are open to receiving them at any time during the drive. For all items, please check that expiry dates extend into 2022. Thank you in advance!

Week 6: Food in plastic packets or bottles (pasta, rice, salad dressings, cooking oil etc.) and/or food in tins or jars (tuna, baked beans, soup, tinned tomatoes, pasta sauce etc.)

Week 7: Food that comes in a box (cereals, jelly, biscuits, cake mixes etc.)

Week 8: Treat food (chips, lollies, pavlova nest, long life custard, chocolate, crackers etc.)

 At the end of Week 8, all the items that we have collected will be delivered to the Grenfell Food Hall.

 Thanks for your support in this and all our school fundraising projects.

Sacramental Program News

Reconciliation and First Communion are both sacraments of initiation which form part of a child's spiritual journey. Sacraments sustain us and are visible signs through which the Christian Community celebrates God's loving presence or Grace. Congratulations to the children undertaking this journey.

Our final sacramental meeting will be held on Wednesday, the 24^th of November at St Joseph’s School.

 The confirmed Mass dates for these sacraments are as follows:

• Sunday 5^th of December (First Reconciliation)
• Sunday 12^th of December (First Holy Communion)
