It’s been an eventful start to the school year, with Term 1 already underway and our newly established Liturgical Music Group has been rehearsing diligently, preparing to perform at the Friday morning Mass in the College Chapel.
Your daughter is welcome to attend Friday morning Mass each week. It is an opportunity for her to nurture her growth both spiritually and personally; to deepen her relationship with God, develop a sense of purpose, and find guidance.

Lent
Lent is a time for reflection, renewal, and spiritual preparation. It is a reminder to journey inward, renewing our hearts and minds as we prepare for the joy of Easter. Use this Lenten Calendar as a source of daily inspiration as you journey through Lent.
There are also a number of Lenten opportunities available within our OLF Kingsgrove Parish.
DID YOU KNOW?
Fasting, praying, and almsgiving are especially important during Lent, and in a Jubilee Year, they take on even greater meaning as the Church invites us to renew our faith and grow closer to God. Fasting helps us detach from distractions and recognise our dependence on God, while prayer deepens our relationship with Him, allowing us to listen to His voice more clearly. Almsgiving reminds us to be generous and compassionate, caring for those in need just as Jesus taught. In a Jubilee Year, which is a time of mercy and renewal, these Lenten practices help us reflect on God’s love and prepare our hearts for true transformation, making us instruments of His grace in the world. |
