A highlight of Term 4 is always our Mission Fete. The Catholic Church calendar celebrates Mission Week every year. Traditionally Catholic schools, including Our Lady Star of the Sea, have supported the work of the Catholic Missions through fundraising. This money has assisted initiatives in the poorest communities throughout the world.

At Star of the Sea we have been supporting the community of Bulbula in Ethiopia for over ten years. This came about through a former student, who was adopted from Ethiopia and was able to share with us the plight of this community. We work closely with Sr Abeba in Bulbula, to ensure the money we raise at Mission Fete assists the greatest number of people.

We also use money raised to support local groups, such as our Vinnie’s Christmas Hampers.

Our Mission Fete will take place on Friday 7 November. This day includes:

• Liturgy
• Social justice activities
• Sausage sizzle
• Mission Fete
• Raffle

Please stay tuned for more information via the newsletter and Hub News in coming weeks.
