Sacred Heart, also called Sacred Heart of Jesus, in Roman Catholicism, the mystical-physical heart of Jesus as an object of devotion. In addition to a feast, now celebrated on the Friday of the third week after Pentecost, devotion includes acts of consecration and honour given to the image of the Sacred Heart.

The Catholic Archidiocese of Melbourne have an informative article you may like to read for more information about this special day.

Whole School Mass

On Friday 28th June our school will celebrate the Feast of the Sacred Heart with a whole school Mass at St Joseph's Church at 10:00 am. All are welcome to attend. There will be no assembly this day and Teacher Awards and Birthday Certificates will be presented at the conclusion of the Mass.

Prayer

“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Community Donation

Our school supports our community as part of the Feast of the Sacred Heart. As well as praying for the poor, children are invited to take action by bringing to school warm blankets, toiletries e.g. toothbrush, toothpaste, handwash, hairbush, deodorant, socks, hair ties, crayons and colouring books. Children may also bring non-perishable food items. 

The Soup Kitchen provide warm meals to those in need on Monday nights between 5:30pm and 7:00pm in the Parish Hall.

Donations can be sent to the school with your child and/or placed in the collections tubs in the school foyer. Our St. Joseph's Parish soup kitchen will collect these donated items and use them to support people in need in our local area.
