Catholic Character
This Sunday marks the shift from Eastertide to Ordinary Time. The liturgical colour of green will be used for the coming months. The five liturgical colors, red, green, white, purple, and black were established in the 13th century.
The Junior Catholic Character hub is promoting our winter collection of foodstuffs. Please support their endeavours as the pantries of Vinnies, Salvation Army, and Sisters of mercy are being rapidly depleted. This project will finish at the end of term 2.

Matariki is a time to prepare the whenua on which we live. In the middle of winter during Matariki, the land is in its most inactive phase. Certain vegetables are planted to appease the land based gods Rongo, Uenuku and Whiro. With spring on its way, Matariki is the perfect time to make plans for the land and for the new spring garden
