Our school provides opportunities for students, staff and parents to know and celebrate their Catholic faith. This is done through the religious life of our school. Members of our community experience a rich liturgical and prayer life, celebration of the Sacraments, faith formation, social outreach activities, and opportunities to share faith with each other and with youth from other schools in the Archdiocese.
The St Francis Xavier’s Catholic Primary School Lurnea community seeks to enliven Christ’s message in all aspects of school life. This commitment is expressed through our prayer and liturgical celebrations, retreats for all grades, providing meaningful outreach to those in need, and our comprehensive Religious Education programs that support and encourage students in deepening their relationship with God. The school is blessed to have Fr Simon Apablaza as our parish priest and Fr Pierluigi Passoni as our Assistant Parish Priest who work tirelessly to support the faith life of the school community through regular Masses and class visits.”
