The Year 6 students at Our Lady of Good Counsel have been busy preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. They were fortunate enough to spend time at the Don Bosco Retreat with other students from the parish primary schools and catechist groups. During this day, they were led by the wonderful team working with Gen Bryant. Through reflections and scripture, they explored Confirmation on a deeper level and enhanced their understanding of the spiritual journey they are on.
We are very thankful to the parish for supporting our students with the opportunity to attend these incredible faith formation events. The students met with Bishop Les Tomlinson this week as part of their preparation. It was wonderful to hear them reflect and respond to his questions about their journey, choice of Saint name, and the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit.
We wish both the OLGC and Catechist students making their confirmation in the coming weeks all the best and will keep them in our prayers.
