Father of love and power, it is your will to establish everything in Christ
and to draw us into his all-embracing love.
Guide these candidates as they begin their preparation for Confirmation.
Strengthen them in their baptismal promises,
build them into the kingdom of your Son,
and seal them with the Spirit of your love.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hello Parents and Friends of St. Anne’s
This Saturday is a very important day for St Anne’s School and Parish as the Sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated at 3pm. I ask that all of you keep the candidates in your prayers this week. This Thursday at 10:30am the whole school will be attending mass as we observe the Feast of the Assumption. Families are most welcome to attend.

Unnamed School Fee Deposit
The school has received an amount deposited into the account from the NAB ATM Doncaster Branch. We presume it is school fees.  Unfortunately the person did not leave any reference.  If it is you, please call the office so we can apply it to your school fees account.

Thank you

Enrolments
We will be starting to organise class structures shortly. It would be appreciated if parents could advise me if their child will not be attending St  Anne’s next year (current Foundation to Year 5 students.)

School Fees
We still have a significant amount of school fees outstanding. For those concerned your attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
