St Michael’s Mission Day 2019 

RE_1.png

On this day, as a school community, we will meet together in both prayer and action. We will have a liturgy at 11:30am and then at 12:00pm, we will put into action our school motto of “Lift Up Our Hearts”. Throughout the school, activities will be happening that will raise money to go to Catholic Mission.

When: Friday 25th October, 2019

Time: Liturgy commencing at 11:30am and Mission Stalls beginning at 12:00 pm and concluding at 1:00 pm. 

Who is invited: Families, friends and the community of St Michael’s

What: Each grade (K-4) and groups of students (Years 5 & 6) will be setting up stalls on our playground at the conclusion of the liturgy. We ask parents to come and help on their class/child’s stall and also take their child around to spend money at the different stalls available. 

What do I need: The stalls will have games, activities and things to buy. Students and families will need lots of silver and gold coins so they can be involved on the day.
