The celebration of our Opening College Mass on Tuesday 7 February gave us the opportunity to gather together as a community — to pray, to worship and to grow in our faith. Our College Chaplain Father Dean Bradbury gave a meaningful homily that talked about each of us doing our best and being our best. He referred to our Mercy value of Courage and some practical ways in which we can live this.
It was wonderful to see students from all year levels, as well as staff, involved in the various ministries and carrying out these roles with reverence and respect. The College Choir led the music beautifully, adding to a sense of occasion.
For some of our new students it was the first time they have experienced a celebration of the Eucharist and we hope that as they become more familiar with this beautiful ritual they will grow to love it and understand its importance.
The Top Achievers’ Assembly followed the Mass. You can read more about that event HERE.
