Parish Notices

Month of the Holy Rosary

October is traditionally known in the Catholic Church as the Month of the Holy Rosary, so we are called to grow close to Jesus through meditation on his life by walking through it with Mary, the model of discipleship. Each week we will offer a way of doing this in our bulletin.
Mary at home in Nazareth with the family
Teach us to value the gift of family and our relationships.
Mary at the Feast of Cana
Teach us to humbly ask for what is needed and to do what He tells us.
Mary meeting Jesus on the way to Calvary
Teach us to be present to the suffering ones of our world. We pray to Mary for the gift of compassion.

First Reconciliation

Preparation classes for the Sacrament of Reconciliation for students Year 3 or above, not attending St Joseph’s Primary School, commence in October. Please contact Berny at hawthornparishmgr@gmail.com
