From the Acting Principal Welcome back! Welcome to Term Three. I trust the holidays were a time for families to have a rest from the daily routine of school lunches, buses and getting the uniforms ready!
Coming Events July 2017 Fri 21st Year 8 Wellbeing Session Fri 21st Year 10 Mental Health Session Mon 24th College Production Rehearsal Thurs 27th Year 10 Italian Excursion to Carlton Thurs 27th Year 12 VCAL Incursion: Self Defence Fri 27th Year 12 TIS Excursion A more detailed calendar is on the last page.
I also hope there may have been some chances for families to spend some quality time together and be reminded of how important it is to make the most of such opportunities. This is a 10 week term and I imagine we are all looking forward to the gradual shift out of the depths of winter to warmer and brighter spring days.

Refugee Holiday Program During the school holidays of Terms 1, 2 and 3 each year students from all four Geelong Catholic Secondary schools come together to conduct the Refugee Holiday Program.
The schools work in partnership with Diversitat to provide a day of fun activities for refugee children, some as young as 5 years old.
Fr Kevin Dillon has been on the Board in recent years and we thank him for his dedication to and great support for our school. As he prepares to move to his new parish in Rowville we thank him for all he has done for Geelong and we pass on our best wishes for a smooth transition to his new community.
Immersion Trip to Minjerribah
On Tuesday 4th July St Joseph’s kindly hosted the Term 2 holiday program and eighteen Saint Ignatius students participated which is a fantastic number of students who were willing to give up a day of their holidays for such a great program.
A group of students are experiencing an Immersion Trip to Minjerribah this week where they will learn a great deal about the Indigenous community of that area. The trip is being led by staff members Mrs Deb Hodge (Year 8 Co-ordiantor) and Mrs Tenille Thomson (Wellbeing Co-ordinator). We are very fortunate to also have Mr Clint Miller from our Immersion partner company, Destination Dreaming, co-ordinating and accompanying the students on the trip this week. For more information go to Destination Dreaming’s Facebook page.
Thank you to SICG staff members Mr Michael Wright, Mr Caleb Ryan and Mr John Clatworthy who supervised our students’ involvement in the Refugee Holiday Program. ...continued on Page 3

“Lifeboat” fundraising event
Jesuit Schools’ plaques
Feast Day - Monday 31st July
Saint Ignatius was proud to support the fundraising event for the Geelong “Lifeboat” organisation held at the Geelong Yacht Club on Tuesday 11th July.
The plaques of all the Australian Jesuit schools have been installed on the outside of the EDC building, along Loyola Way.
A reminder that we are holding a Formal Whole College Assembly on Feast Day at 10:45am.
Hopefully this display will add to the students’ awareness that we are part of a large Jesuit family.
As you are aware July 31st is a special day for our college community - the Feast Day of St Ignatius of Loyola, the College’s patron saint.
Thank you to staff member Leanne Irving for arranging the catering and thank you to senior students Molly Winter, Alex Delaney and Alex Henry who helped with the serving of the food during the event. Fr Kevin Dillon established “Lifeboat” in December 2013 and it seeks to provide pastoral support to established victims of church-related sexual abuse. If you wish to support this organisation go to https://www.lifeboatgeelong.com.au
Sabbatical leave Our Principal, Mr Michael Exton, is currently on Sabbatical leave and he is undertaking a course in leadership studies at Harvard University, Boston, USA.
There is one more plaque to come, recognising the first Jesuit school in Victoria - St Patrick’s College East Melbourne. We are hosting the annual Jesuit Schools’ Student Leadership Conference later this year (December 1st to 3rd) and so it will be great for the students from the other Jesuit schools to see “their” school plaques having pride of place in our school. Thank you to our Property Manager, Mr Andrew Humphrey, for installing these plaques during the holidays.
This year is our 10th Anniversary - 10 years of us as Saint Ignatius College and so we will mark this accordingly at the College Assembly. The College Assembly will also include the acknowledgement of staff service to the college community, that is, staff with 10, 15, 20, 25 years of service. There will not be any other “special activities” on Feast Day as it’s a TRIumph year. TRIumph is held every three years and the students from all four Geelong Catholic Secondary schools come together for a fundraising and celebration day. TRIumph is kindly being hosted by Clonard College this year on Friday 8th September and you will hear more about it closer to the event. Best wishes

From Rev Fr Kevin Dillon I haven’t counted them all, but this will be - more or less - the eight hundred and fortieth “Front Page” I have written for the St. Mary’s Parish Bulletin. It’s also my second last, and a number of experiences during the past week have focussed my attention on the extraordinary contribution you, the parishioners of St. Mary’s, make to our parish and to the wider community of Geelong. On Sunday night, I spent an hour at Samaritan House with the guests (about seven that night), volunteers and the remarkable Coordinator, Josephine Barnes. On Monday night, I attended the Thanksgiving Service for the wonderful and highly successful Meals Service at our next-door neighbours’ church, Christ Church on the corner of Moorabool and MacKillop Sts. For nearly 30 years, breakfast has been provided there 7 days a week, and an evening meal 2 or 3 times each week.
On Tuesday I met our visitors from our partner parish of Mary Immaculate in Viqueque, Fr. Pasqual Natalino Soares Moniz and seminarian Jesse Ferreira de Jesus, just hours after they landed at Tullamarine to be welcomed by Chris Hansen, Deputy Principal of Christ the King School, then later by two parishioners who have taken them into their homes and hearts for the duration of their stay. Then on Thursday I attended the formal opening of the “Lazarus Centre”, a welcoming place for those who are homeless, isolated and / or lonely. It will now be open five days per week, and already, less than three weeks after it’s informal, “soft” opening, it is being praised by its many visitors. Then on Friday, as usual there was a queue lined up along Yarra St. in anticipation of the opening of St. Mary’s Parish Pantry in our Parish Centre in Yarra St. You know the common factor in these various services for those who are less well off than most of us and are often at risk?
That common factor is you - the parishioners of St. Mary’s. You are an essential and integral component of the loving service these projects provide. In some cases they are “parish projects”, initiated and implemented from within the parish. In other cases, parishioners of St. Mary’s combine in a great partnership with others with whom they share the common bond of humanity and of “treating others the way we would like to be treated ourselves”. Thank you for making St. Mary’s such a caring and compassionate part of Geelong. Rev Fr Kevin Dillon, Geelong Deanery Coordinator and Association of Canonical Administrator President OAM
St Ignatius of Loyola Feast Day College Assembly Monday July 31st As you are aware July 31st is a special day for our college community - the Feast Day of St Ignatius of Loyola, the College’s patron saint. This year also marks our 10th Anniversary as Saint Ignatius College. To celebrate these two milestones a whole College Assembly is to be held on Monday July 31st. The whole College Assembly on Feast Day will begin at 10:45am. If you would like to attend the assembly please be at the College gym by 10:30am to be seated. Please sign-in at the Office on arrival.

Faith Matters Amare et Servire Written by Fr Manoling Francisco, SJ and is the school anthem of the Ateneo de Iloilo-Sta Maria Catholic School (Philippines). Lyrics:
Song of Songs Two glorious weeks! Time to relax, time to rejuvenate, two weeks to reflect on the year so far and where we are headed. As we return to the College, we are offered a genuine chance start afresh. With time to discern our experiences and current position, we have a perfect opportunity to make some changes or even start anew.
In omnibus amare. (In everything, love.)
With this in mind, I think about the two big events for the semester, Feast Day and TRI-umph.
In omnibus servire. (In everything, serve.)
On Monday the 31st of July we will we will celebrate the feast day of St Ignatius of Loyola.
In ominibus amare et servire Domino. (In everything, love and serve the Lord!) x3
One thing that always stands out to me is the musical offerings of our students under the guidance of Mrs Linda Pape and Mrs Marina Brown. There is something about music that touches us deep within and sparks within an emotional response. Lyrics are often simple and repetitive, however, sung with accompaniment the words offered have great power. I always hope that we might be fortunate enough to have a rendition of Amare et Servire (To Love and Serve The Lord), written by Father Manoling Francisco, SJ.
Link: https://youtu.be/a9lXHhs2iwY
The lyrics are simple, beautiful and I always feel deeply moved by the pure nature of Ignatian Spirituality, and closer to St Ignatius and his teachings, when we have the opportunity to hear this lovely song. Music is beautiful. It can move us and transcend the ordinary. Our Tradition, of course, is highlighted by song. Liturgical music is a specialist area in itself and the use of music in worship is ancient. The psalms were all originally sung. The beauty of the words of these ancient prayers were coloured and brought to life through music, as song. Every Mass has song and hymns to bring to life the readings and draw those present into the celebration. I am very aware of the power of music. When I was young, a family friend played the bagpipes, and over the years I felt an indescribable energy when each time he played for us. So much so that I pestered him to teach me and when I was old enough he agreed, from then on I travelled an hour each way, every week by train for lessons. Today I deeply love playing for others and myself. Some people are touched by the power of the bagpipes as I am; others talk of injured cats or throw rocks. Musical taste is highly selective. However, we can all identify with little effort a form of music or a song that offers us that transcendent experience.
At TRI-umph, our students come together and experience these things. With the other three Catholic Colleges in Geelong, they also raise an enormous amount money for those in great need, in East Africa and East Timor. On an individual level, they come together with others to enjoy the gift of community and music. Triumph is a music festival held twice within a student’s secondary school journey and therefore a big part of their secondary school experience. There is nothing like it anywhere else in the world that I am aware of! On the day there is a diverse range of musical styles on offer. The student leaders who organise the entire event attempt to provide an experience for each student. It is an amazing event, and there is nothing more powerful than the lead act at the end of the day singing with 4,000 or more young people in accompaniment. Each event is different; every finale is a different song, what is constant is a feeling of great joy and being part of something. St Ignatius had a great teaching of “God in all things”. This central thread within Ignatian Spirituality is a delightful revelation to us of the presence of God around us. As God is the creator of all things, his mark can be found in all things; the Spirit is everywhere. St Ignatius teaches us how to look for these things in our world. God can be found in a relationship, in something of beauty, in a great meal, in other people. With this in mind, when considered God can even be found even in those moments in life that seem to offer no joy. We are not inspired to enjoy or simply accept moments of disappointment of pain. However, we are encouraged to find God within them. At TRI-umph, there are many things that can bring us closer to God. Music is the core of the day and is the vehicle that brings us all together and holds us, united in a moment. No matter what your preference in music is or what may be found within your playlist, take some time to consider why it is that speaks to you. Further to this, you might be inspired to take a small amount of time out of your day, put your favourite song on and be lifted above the daily concerns. St Ignatius offered more formalised ways of seeking and connecting with God, but sometimes we live in a state of time poverty that debilitates us; we have ‘no time’. When we have a time deficit, often the first things to suffer is our relationship with our self and with God. If five minutes is all you have to offer, a song may just help you move beyond the day to day concerns, make a connection and restore in a small way your two most important relationships. Yours in Christ, Brendan Nicholls Liturgy Coordinator

Combined Catholic Schools’ PD Day “It Takes a Village to Create a Life long Learner”. This year the focus of the 2017 Combined PD Day was for teachers from Saint Ignatius College, Saint Joseph’s College, Sacred Heart, Clonard and MacKillop Family Services to form small “villages”to explore the area of interest they had chosen. There were over 20 options including ‘The Resilient Village’, ‘The Spiritual Village’, ‘The Feedback Village’ and ‘The Digital Spaces Village’. Each village consisted of around 8 staff members from all participating schools and the team members determined where they would meet and what the focus for the day would be. Venues included the Geelong Library, Deakin University, Medibank Private, the Surfcoast Cultural Walk, the You Yangs, respective schools and even team members’ homes. Each team had a unique focus and way of approaching their shared topic and the most important aspects of this day, were the collaboration between the schools and the sharing of knowledge and resources relating to the chosen village. Ideally this would enhance an aspect of the teaching and learning occurring in our own classes. Learning is a life long process and it is the provision of days like this that help us to collaborate in the development of our knowledge, skills and experiences to better support our student’s education. I am very grateful to the large number of Saint Ignatius Staff who took the initiative to take charge of a group and provide direction and resources. Fran Kealey Director of Teacher Development
Getting to know our Student Leaders Continuing our series of ‘snapshots’ of our student leaders for 2017.
Kerry Kingsbury Senior Ignatian Leader Recent Leadership Opportunities:
Inspired by: When I was in primary school I would come to St Ignatius events, where I saw the student leaders and I knew that I would like to give back to my school in the way I thought was best.
I have been involved in the SRC for the past two years, and class captain.
What advice would you give a student going into a leadership position for the first time?
Future Leadership Opportunities:
Just go for it, take all the opportunities you can.
I am part of the Triumph representative committee, and we are looking forward to holding a fun music festival in September, with the aim to raise money for our close neighbours in East Timor.
What is one characteristic that you believe every leader should possess? Be able to listen, but to also speak up. Kerry speaking at the ‘Whole of College’ assembly held earlier this year.

As you know we take the health and safety of our students very seriously. As such we are adopting a new health, safety and electronic consent form system named CareMonkey. CareMonkey has an innovative parent controlled electronic medical form for schools, clubs and other groups with a duty of care. It’s an electronic version of the paper based forms you’re always having to fill in for excursions, camps, enrolments, etc.
You can use a PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone to enter the details including: ● emergency contacts ● medical contacts ● medical checklist including asthma, allergies, seizures, diabetes ● health and ambulance insurance details ● notes and other care instructions from you ● and more... As a parent/guardian you will receive an invitation to join CareMonkey and enter details for your child/children.
It provides you the opportunity to update medical information promptly and accurately while providing the school with instant access to the emergency information provided by you. We will be using the CareMonkey system in the best interest of the children whilst also reducing the burden on you to fill out the same information on multiple forms throughout the year.
By following the instructions you can create your own free CareMonkey account and control all data about your child/children. The CareMonkey system stores the information on your behalf and you will be able to grant (or deny) access to your data with our school.
You are also able to share this data with any other group or individual you choose (eg. your child’s grandparents, their childminder, their sports club, etc). From the schools perspective, this information will only be visible by the relevant staff for your child and will be managed in accordance with the Privacy Act. You don’t need to do anything until you receive the email requesting the information. Please feel free to contact the school if you have any questions. You can also visit the CareMonkey website for more information: www.caremonkey.com We appreciate your assistance. Mr Michael Timms Deputy Principal [Students]

Sponsors for ‘Tri-UMPH Festival 2017’ We are looking for local organisations and businesses to sponsor the Tri-UMPH Festival of 2017. If you would like to be involved, please read on. The festival will take place on September 8th, 2017 at Clonard College and will see over 5000 students unite to make poverty history. This festival is an initiative of four combined Catholic Colleges in the Geelong region, Clonard College, Sacred Heart College, Saint Ignatius College and St Joseph’s College, and will be the fourth festival following the inaugural 2008 Tri-UMPH festival and in that time we have raised in excess of $150,000. We invite you to help support this festival. We will be raising both funds and awareness for Caritas Australia’s ‘Women Protection Program’, which aims to promote the protection of vulnerable women and children in Timor Leste. Through provision of women’s shelters for survivors of domestic violence and their children, vocational training, counselling and legal services, women and children affected by the high incidence of domestic violence are able to receive the assistance that they need. Your organisation can support us, the Geelong youth, in our mission to support the wellbeing of these young people in poverty stricken East Timor.
Monetary values donated will contribute to the ‘100 Women Project’ and the successful running of Tri-UMPH festival by contributing to costs, allowing for more revenue to be donated to the funds raised. Service based donations will also help eliminate the cost for the successful running of the event. All organisations that choose to sponsor or donate to the event will be recognized suitably according to the level of sponsorship embarked on. A hierarchy of publicity to organisations who choose the greatest value of sponsorship will apply as per listed, but all organisations will be formally acknowledged for their contribution towards the event.

A small group is planning a large function to farewell Fr Kevin after more than sixteen years in the Parish and the wider Geelong Community. The event will take the form of an afternoon tea at St Joseph’s College, Newtown (enter off Queens Road) on Sunday 23 July 2017 between 2.00pm and 5.00pm.
At 3.00 p.m. there will be a few formalities. Frank Costa AO has kindly agreed to move a vote of thanks on behalf of the Parish and wider Geelong Community, and Father Kevin will be given an opportunity to respond and say farewell.
Everybody is welcome.
There is no invitation list and no RSVP required.
The venue is kindly being provided by St Joseph’s College and the afternoon tea is being arranged by all the schools who will also assist with some musical entertainment.
It is difficult to know what form of presentation should be made to Fr Kevin but the planning group is currently thinking that valuable small contributions will be used to purchase a gift for Fr Kevin and, as agreed with Fr Kevin, any larger donations will be accumulated and donated to Lifeboat Geelong Foundation (LGF). This is a charity which was founded by Fr Kevin and one in which he has indicated that he will be playing an on-going role. A cheque for the funds raised will be presented on the day of the afternoon tea, and the money will greatly assist in the on-going work of Lifeboat. More details of how donations can be made will be supplied during the weekends of 17-18 and 24-25 June.
Please tell family, friends and associates of the event and the opportunity which exists to attend on 23 July. In this way the people of Geelong will be able to fully participate in thanking Fr Kevin for his tireless work, and the positive initiatives he has driven in so many areas, since his arrival here as Parish Priest over sixteen years ago. Should you have any queries please contact Sr. Anne Lourey (0417 556 637) or at the Parish Office (5222 1977) or Michael Dowling on ( 0418 145 231)

Map Your Future is a trial program from the Youth Disability Advocacy Service (YDAS). YDAS is a state wide advocacy service for young people with disability in Victoria. Map Your Future will help you to think about what you want. Thinking about what you want will help you to work out what kind of support you need and where you want to go in life. What happens if you join? A chat with someone to work out what’s happening for you now. One group workshop with up to four other people. This will run for five hours and include different activities and a workbook to take home. Three one-to-one coaching calls (via Skype or phone). Each call will be one hour long. You will get a Certificate of Completion for finishing the program. Because Map Your Future is new, we will also want to know what you think afterwards. The program will run for the first time starting in the July school holidays. It will run for the second time starting in the September school holidays.

POSITIVE PARENTING
Staying relevant in a Digital World By Martine Oglethorpe
As technology continues to advance and our lives become more immersed in everything digital, the challenges faced by parents can often feel overwhelming. We know that the technology is here to stay and we also know the many benefits that we can reap from the digital world. There are amazing ways we can connect and collaborate, raise awareness, create, learn and share. We are also frequently made well aware of the dangers and pitfalls of this connected world.. We hear often about the predators, the pornography, the paedophiles, the gaming obsessions, the screentime addictions and the cyberbullying.
So how do we ensure that our kids are getting the very best that the technology has to offer whilst avoiding those negative elements? One of the best ways we can do this as parents is to remain relevant. But how do we stay relevant in a world that seems to move so fast? In a world where our kids already seem to know so much? It starts by taking the time to get to know the world your children are growing up in and work to understand the challenges they face. Because kids do face challenges and they will make mistakes. We need to ensure that those mistakes are ones they can learn from and aren’t life changing.
Be the Wise ones Well they may well have a lot of knowledge when it comes to all things technical. But they are not necessarily wise like us. Now I use the word ‘us’ very loosely here in referring to the adult population, because anyone who has spent any time online knows there are many adults who are not wise. But generally speaking, adults have a lot more understanding of the intricacies of interactions, relationships and the complexities of human behaviours than kids do. Our kids are interacting and connecting with others in a world that is often beyond what they are developmentally and emotionally ready for. We need to help them with that.
Play and interact Sure we all love the lure of an iPad to ensure we can finish our coffee whilst its hot or get the dinner cooked uninterrupted. But if we also take the time to play and interact with our kids and their devices, we get a different perspective about what they enjoy. We get the bonus of the interactive element as well as time to bond and enjoy something together. We also put ourselves in a much better position to set relevant boundaries and help them understand those boundaries.

POSITIVE PARENTING
Staying relevant in a Digital World Listen to others and listen to your child If your friend’s child is playing a game, has an account on social media or enjoys certain websites, then there is a good chance your child does too. Just as we would play at the park or hang out at the milk bar where our friends were when we were young, so too our kids will hang out where their mates are playing. So listen to those parents in the playground. Listen in to which popular apps and games are spoken about in the media. Listen to your child. Ask them what they like to do. Ask them about their concerns or their challenges. You may never keep up with every single app or site that your child visits, but if you have a good understanding of the ways kids are using technology and the sorts of things the technology is capable of, then you are in a much better position to help them use it safely and smartly.
Be open and honest about what is out there Whilst there are times we certainly lament the passing of the good old days where screens, and social media were not such an integral part of our lives, we cannot afford to be in denial about the role technology is and will continue to play in the lives
of our children. So rather than shut it down and try to avoid it, we need to be ready to have conversations that we may prefer not to have. We need to know that the average age a child first sees pornography is about 11, so we should understand that this is a very real possibility for our children. So how are we going to prepare them for that? What conversations would we need to have if we suspect this has happened? Because we do want to make sure that the education they are getting comes from us and not from the online world itself. So seek out knowledge, interact, talk to your kids and put yourself in the best position to remain relevant to your child’s world. Be the one they come to should things go wrong. Be the one they come to to share the positive experiences they have online. Our role as parents is not to shut down the accounts and take away the screens, but rather to ensure we are giving them the skills, the understanding and the thinking to make the very best decisions every time they go online.
Martine Oglethorpe is a speaker, counsellor and educator with a passion for building resilient kids in a digital world. Devices and the online world will continue to play an increasing role in the lives of our families for much of their information, education, entertainment and socialisation. It is imperative therefore, we have the skills, understanding and strategies to help them navigate the challenges and make the most of the opportunities that the technology has to offer. Martine is available for student workshops focused on positive online behaviours, for teacher professional development on how the digital world affects what happens in the classroom and for corporate and parent information sessions.

OPEN DAYS 2017 Getting the most out of an Open Day
Most institutional Open Days are held in late July and August (see over the page for Open Day dates). However, you are more than welcome to contact an institution to arrange a visit any time.
What happens on an Open Day? On Open Day you can visit an institution when it’s at its best. Everyone is there – academics, lecturers, current students and information officers. More importantly, you can talk with academics, lecturers and current students about what certain courses are actually like, and what is required to get into them.
Who should attend an Open Day? Anyone who is considering studying at a tertiary level in the next few years should attend.
Why should you attend an Open Day? Apart from the opportunity to obtain course information there are many other reasons why attending an Open Day is a good idea: •
You are going to feel more comfortable arriving at a university or TAFE institute on the first day of classes if you have been there before.
•
What is really involved in the course or courses you are interested in?
•
If you have to move away from home, where are you going to live?
•
Will you be happier studying in a large metropolitan institution or a smaller, perhaps rural institution?
•
What does the place ‘feel’ like? Is it a bustling environment with lots of activity or a quieter, more relaxed campus set in landscaped grounds?
•
How are you going to get there? Is it close to public transport or should you start saving now for a car?
If you don’t know the answers to any of these questions, then you should attend an Open Day!
How to make the best of Open Days To make your Open Day visits fun and informative, here are some pointers: •
Write down a list of questions you would like to ask about particular courses
•
Be there early. Crowds tend to develop as the day progresses
•
On arrival, get a map from a central point and ask for directions to the relevant faculties or schools
•
Ask questions!
•
Don’t spend the day collecting printed information only. Use the opportunity to speak directly with academics before applications close
•
Introduce yourself to selection officers if you feel it is appropriate, but don’t be pushy
•
Check out the residential colleges, if available. After all, it is you that will be living there.
•
Walk around the campus. Have a good look! See what sporting facilities and other services are available.
•
Enjoy the visit!
Not everyone can attend every Open Day and various Institutions hold their Open Days on the same date! If you can’t attend an Open Day and you are interested in a particular institution, you may visit at other times. If you wish to speak to a particular person, it is essential to make an appointment first. This information was correct at the time of publication. Students are encouraged to confirm times themselves. Addresses of tertiary institutions are available via VTAC on www.vtac.edu.au or by ringing the institution directly or visiting their website. Students in Years 10, 11 and 12 are encouraged to go along to Open Days

in and through the Catholic Faith.
What is the R.C.I.A.? It is the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults... ….. a process for preparing and welcoming new members into the Catholic Community. It is a journey of faith and life. A Community Journey,……A Personal Journey… that begins with 4 weeks of “Enquiry”, and then, if you want to continue we go into a time of study, prayer and worshipping with the church community. A Personal Journey…….where we are able to discover our personal relationship with God through the Gospels and teachings of the Church in a friendly and caring environment.
How does it work? The process of becoming a Catholic Christian is a journey of faith made in the company of other enquirers, sponsors, catechists or presenters and Parish Priest. The process involves discussion and sharing of the Gospels and the teachings of the Jesus and the Church. It leads to an understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus and a Catholic Christian.
How long will it take?
Who are the sponsors?
That will depend on you!! nd
The gatherings begin on Tuesday 22 August, 2017. No sessions take place during school holidays. Most enquirers are received into the Church the following Easter, and continue the journey up to the celebration of Pentecost. If, after consultation with the parish priest and the team, you feel that you are not ready to be received into the Catholic Church the team will respect your decision. This is your journey of faith!! At any time you are free not to continue.
What are the Sacraments of Initiation? These are the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and First Communion (or Eucharist) received by unbaptised people when they become members of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church recognises the Baptism received by Christians from other Christian Churches. In these cases the people wishing to enter the Catholic Church would receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Communion.
The sponsors are practising Catholics from the community to walk with you on your faith journey, to help you, support you, encourage you and provide a tangible link between yourself and the community. They are not necessarily the Godparents. They are companions on the journey.
Who are the RCIA Team? They are members of the community who will unpack some of the essential facets of our catholic faith for you. They guide the members on their journey with Christ Jesus during this process.
Who else is involved? The entire community is involved in welcoming, being prayer partners and supportive of those who take the journey into our faith community.
