On Friday 23rd June, we had two special Masses to mark the close of the academic year.
We welcomed Fr Neil Farren to celebrate Mass for our Year 9 -11 students, and siters from our Loreto Community – Sister Anne, Sister Bernadette Mary and Sister Ann. The theme of this Mass was ‘Time for Change’.
In the afternoon we welcomed Fr Christopher Mc Dermott to celebrate a special Mass for our Year 8 students and their parents and guardians. The theme of the Mass was based on a quotation from St Paul’s Letter to the Philippians, “Shine like Stars in the World” (Philippians 2:15).
A Summer Blessing
May you walk with God
This summer
In whatever you do
Wherever you go
Walking with God means...
Walking with honesty
And with courage,
Walking with love
And respect
And concern for the feelings of others
May you talk to God
This summer
And every day and
In every situation
Talking with God means...
Praying words of praise
For the beauty of creation
Saying prayers of thanks
For friends and good times,
Asking God's help
In all your decisions
Expressing sorrow
When you have failed
May you talk with God
Every day. Amen.
