Sacraments 2020
It is exciting to announce that Sacraments for First Eucharist and Confirmation will go ahead for this year. Confirmation will now be held in Term 3 and First Eucharist in Term 4. Registrations for these Sacraments will open at the start of Term 3 for Confirmation and Term 4 for First Eucharist. Early next term I will publish the exact dates, as we are just waiting on confirmation from Fr John.
Sacrament of Reconciliation
Many children from our school community celebrated their First Reconciliation this weekend. The remaining children will receive the sacrament over the coming weeks. Please continue to keep these children in your prayers.
Mass Has Returned!
Due to the resent easing of restrictions, Fr John has now begun celebrating Masses once again. All Mass times will remain the same, but due to social distancing measures, all Masses will be celebrated at Holy Trinity, Curtin for the time being. There is a limit of 100 people that can attend each Mass, and the Parish will accept booking online, or via a phone call to the office.

Hi again,
It's Grace, your Youth Minister retouching base after what has been a bizarre start to 2020 for all of us! This is an update about our exciting faith and spirituality plans for Term 2/3!
I hope in this time of quarantine you have been able to see some silver linings and ways in which God is working for the good in your life even through difficulty. I now have a greater appreciation for 'COMMUNITY LIFE.' Essentially this is the heart of the Chuch's mission - to unite all people in the love of God and one another! Our long term vision for the Holy Trinity community is exactly this; to bridge school and parish so that we can BELONG, BELIEVE and BECOME together! I would like you to feel that our Church can once again be a place where you can find support and a strong sense of FELLOWSHIP and FAMILY!
To do this we have a few exciting plans...
1. Children's Liturgy during Sunday Masses
For those with younger children, we will be restarting a regular Children's Liturgy during Sunday mass. Children have the option to participate in faith-based activities instead of attending the full mass with their parent/guardian. If you are a parent/carer who is interested in being on the roster for Children's liturgy or would like to inquire, contact me! We need volunteers to help run this :)
2. Youth Group (10-12 yearolds)
Father John, Maddie Greenwood (co-parish youth minister) and myself are working towards starting a monthly Youth Group for Holy Trinity and St Peter and Paul which will be held Sunday afternoon. More information will be available soon so keep an ear out if you'd like your children to participate!
3. Facebook Page (Event updates and faith-based resources)

Holy Trinity Youth Ministry Update
The Holy Trinity Youth Ministry Team has been meeting on Fridays at lunch time, learning faith-related songs and dramas to showcase and teach to the lower grades in Term 3 and 4. Last week the team made a 'Message of hope video' which you can find on our Weebly website! Click here
This week we talked about 'The Parable of the Lost Sheep' and the team created a drama that reflected the message of inclusion and equal human dignity. God loves each human life regardless of skin colour, gender, race or differences and He will not leave anyone behind!
Head to our Parish Youth Ministry website to find these resources and videos, we will be uploading them regularly for the school community! That is all from me, if you have any questions or feedback about how we can grow our parish community please don't hesitate to contact me!
God Bless,
Grace
