Catholic Identity

School of the Nativity is committed to nurturing our students’ spirituality and has a close association with the Holy Family Catholic Parish adjacent to our school. The parish, led by Father Paul Mwaura, welcomes students and families of all faiths to experience the rich traditions of the Catholic faith. Students and their families are invited to participate in:

• The celebration of weekly class Masses with morning tea afterwards
• Preparing for and celebrating the sacraments of Reconciliation, Confirmation and Holy Communion in a family-based and parish-led program
• Ministries within the weekend Masses – welcoming, reading, commentating, being extraordinary minsters, sacristan, music, Children’s Liturgy
• Children’s Liturgy which is offered within every Sunday Mass for children aged 4-12
• Women’s Breakfasts held throughout the year
• Study and reflection groups held throughout the year
• Arranging their children’s baptism through the Pastoral Associate, Bianca Cotton

The school supports the parish conference of St Vincent de Paul as well as Caritas’ Project Compassion during Lent. These initiatives are led by the Student Leadership Team. The school community also supports Catholic Charities and Vinnies’ Christmas Food Appeal.
