RELIGIOUS LIFE AT HOLY FAMILY PRIMARY EMERTON Over the past few weeks, our students have had wonderful opportunities to put their faith into action and engage with our parish community. A highlight was our annual Vinnies Winter Sleepout Event, which encouraged students to learn more about the challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness and to respond with compassion and generosity. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the families who generously donated food. Your support helped make the event a meaningful experience for our students and demonstrated the strength of our Holy Family community. Our Upper Primary students also had the privilege of joining our parish community to celebrate the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Mass. Students participated reverently in the liturgy, leading the Prayers of the Faithful and contributing to the celebration alongside our parishioners. It was a wonderful opportunity for students to live out their faith, strengthen their connection with the parish, and reflect on the love and compassion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. We thank our students, staff, families, and parish community for their ongoing support in nurturing faith-filled hearts and a spirit of service.
