On Sunday 12 November, we celebrated our Old Collegians’ Association Memorial Mass in the College Chapel.
College Chaplain Father Dean Bradbury was the celebrant. It was a blessing to gather and worship together, with the presence of current staff and alumni spanning many decades, retired teachers, and several Sisters of Mercy who have been part of the teaching staff.
During the Mass, we took a moment to remember and pray for the souls of the faithful departed connected with our College community. Our prayers, in particular, extended to Elizabeth Calcagno (Class of 1994), whose life was tragically lost in the bus accident near Coober Pedy during the 1993 Central Australia trip. This year marks the 30th anniversary of that event. The Archives team has initiated the creation of a documentary about this incident, incorporating archival footage and interviews with those connected to the trip. Attendees at the afternoon tea following the Mass had the opportunity to preview a segment of this documentary.
