Dear St Finbar's Community,
During November, as in all of Ordinary Time (Time After Pentecost), the Liturgy signifies and expresses the regenerated life from the coming of the Holy spirit, which is to be spent on the model of Christ's Life and under the direction of His Spirit. As we come to the end of the Church year we are asked to consider the end times, our own as well as the world's. The culmination of the liturgical year is the Feast of Christ the King. "This feast asserts the supreme authority of Christ over human beings and their institutions... Beyond it we see Advent dawning with its perspective of the Lord's coming in glory." - (The Liturgy and Time, A.G. Mortimort).
This week we held a liturgy for Remembrance Day led by Stage 3. We thank Stage 3 for leading us through this reflection. The children were very respectful during this liturgy as they paused to remember those who have fallen. Lest We Forget.
Another celebration was for those children who have displayed long term commitment to participating in the Premier's Reading Challenge. We had a number of students who received special certificates from the Premier of NSW for four years and seven years of dedication. We are all proud of you!
