5th Sunday of Easter / Good Shepherd Sunday
This weekend the church observes the 5th Sunday of Easter. It reminds us that we have faith in Jesus and will follow Him, as he is the “way, the truth, and the life.” You can log on to Bishop Brian’s Mass at https://www.dow.org.au/covid-19/sunday-mass-online-with-bishop-brian/ to be a part of this celebration. It is also acknowledged as Good Shepherd Sunday and a reflection by Fr Duane Fernandez can be viewed at the same website above. Fr Duane is such a passionate priest and always speak from his heart. The Diocesan website has the latest information regarding school and parish directives, opportunities for faith and spiritual development and other initiatives.

Project Compassion
On behalf of Caritas and St Columbkille’s school we would like to congratulate all the students, families and staff for supporting our Project Compassion money raising boxes. Our combined total raised was $230, a tremendous effort given the circumstances. It will certainly help all those in need. Thank you all!
Mother's Day
Don’t forget this Sunday, 10 May we celebrate all the mums, nans, grandma’s, nonna’s and those who nurture us with a mothers love. Even though you may not be able to give them a kiss or hug at the moment, your words and prayers via face-time or other platforms will ensure they know they are appreciated. We hope you enjoy being spoilt this Sunday!
Update on Sacramental Programs for St Columbkille’s
Earlier this year we scheduled and sent out enrolment forms for the Sacraments of Confirmation, Reconciliation and Holy Communion.
Unfortunately, due to the current circumstances, the directives from the Government and Diocese of Wollongong have meant that these have been postponed until restrictions have been lifted.
