St Joseph's Open Houses 2026
Open Houses is the major annual fundraiser for St Joseph's Primary School, raising funds to facilitate learning and other opportunities for the children of our parish. Maybe it’s full of character, architecturally striking, rich in history, or has a garden that stops people in their tracks! If you know a home that might be perfect, please get in touch for a friendly, no- obligation chat. Contact Jess Pattison, via email openhouses@sjhawthorn.catholic.edu.au
Examen-ing Life - Retreat Day
The Examen is a powerful, reflective prayer popularized by St Ignatius of Loyola. This day invites you to use this simple practice to look back at your life with God to savour and heal it, and find meaning in every experience. Then, look forward with renewed hope, trust, and confidence in God's presence. Your experience will be led by Dr Susie Hii, a spiritual director whose unique background integrates science and faith. Dr. Hii holds a Masters in Spirituality (University of Divinity) alongside a medical degree (University of Melbourne) and works as a medical specialist (Geriatrician), bringing a grounded, compassionate, and practical approach to spiritual well-being.
