Feast of the Visitation (31st June)
As we continue our journey through the liturgical year, we would like to take this opportunity to shed light on a significant and joyous occasion celebrated by the Catholic Church - The Feast of the Visitation.
The Feast of the Visitation commemorates the biblical encounter between two extraordinary women, the Blessed Virgin Mary and her cousin, Elizabeth. According to the Gospel of Luke, after the Annunciation, Mary journeyed to visit Elizabeth, who was miraculously pregnant with John the Baptist. This joyous meeting is an inspiring example of love, support, and the joy that can come from bringing good news to others.
At St Pius X we believe in nurturing spiritual growth and understanding among our students. The Feast of the Visitation provides an excellent opportunity for our young learners to explore the themes of compassion, empathy, and the power of community.
Sacrament of Confirmation
On Tuesday 6th and Thursday 8th of June, members of our Year 6 cohort will be making their Sacrament of Confirmation. We would like to offer a blessing for these students from our whole school community.
May the Holy Spirit guide and bless you,
As you prepare for Confirmation, anew.
May His gifts of wisdom and strength be bestowed,
As you deepen your faith and love for God.
May you find joy in this sacred journey,
And embrace the calling with hearts full and free.
May your lives be filled with God's abundant grace,
As you walk in His light and seek His face.
May your Confirmation be a moment divine,
Where your spirits are strengthened, as you shine.
May you be courageous in sharing your faith,
And inspire others to follow God's path.
Dear students, know that you are surrounded by the prayers and support of your families, teachers, and the entire school community. May God's grace be with you every step of the way as you prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. May this sacrament be a source of strength, peace, and joy as you embrace your role as full members of the Church.
