It is hard to believe that we are half way through Term 2 with the following faith-formation events just around the corner.
What’s On
Wednesday 2 July – Purpose Festival
Wednesday 13 August – Year 7, 8, 9 Evangelisation Day
This event will be held at Mount Saint Joseph Catholic College, Milperra. This occasion calls for students from Sydney Catholic Schools to join together in a day of worship, praise and song. There will be talks from guest speakers, performances by Catholic artists, and presentations by Catholic evangelists. The day will revolve around the theme of “May we always seek what is good, true and beautiful”.
An expression of interest form is currently being circulated through the College for students. Once this has been finalised, a request will be sent via Compass to provide consent for your daughter to attend by Week 8.

June: The Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus – A Call for Young Hearts
Did you know that the entire month of June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus? It’s a special time in the Catholic Church when we are invited to focus on the deep, never-ending love Jesus has for each one of us. His heart is a symbol of that love—burning with mercy, compassion, and forgiveness.
For young people especially, the month of June is an opportunity to connect more personally with Jesus and reflect on how we can live out that love in our daily lives. The Sacred Heart invites us to go deeper—to not just know about Jesus but to know Him personally and live like Him.
So, what can young people do in June to honour the Sacred Heart of Jesus? We can pray a short prayer each morning asking Jesus to help us love like He does—with kindness, courage, and forgiveness. We can make time to serve others, even in small ways, like helping a friend, standing up for someone who’s left out, or being patient with family. We can spend a quiet moment with Jesus, maybe in adoration or during Mass, just listening and offering Him our hearts.
Pope Francis often encouraged young people to draw close to the Sacred Heart, calling it “the greatest school of love.” He reminded us that this Heart is not distant or symbolic, it’s alive, full of mercy, compassion, and a place to find real peace.
“Let us ask the Lord that we might make our hearts like His: full of love and compassion.” ~ Pope Francis
This June, let your heart be set on fire by the heart of Christ.
