1st December, 2015 Reflection Advent begins Advent is the first season of the Church year where we prepare ourselves to celebrate the wonderful feast of Christmas. A reading from first letter of St Paul to the Thessalonians: May the Lord be generous in increasing your love and make you love one another and the whole human race as much as we love you. And may he so confirm your hearts in holiness that you may be blameless in the sight of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus Christ comes with all his saints. Lord, we are so often overwhelmed by the busyness of this time of year. O come Emmanuel, come into our hearts and show us by your light the beauty of your way of love. We are your people, Lord, and we are waiting for your return. Come Lord Jesus. Amen.
College Volunteers Dinner
Mary Glowrey lecture
On Wednesday night, the College hosted its first annual Volunteers Dinner at Tabcorb Park with 24 people in attendance. This will be an Annual event on our school calendar to thank all those parents and friends of the College who have given so much time to us in 2015. We are always seeking parent involvement in the Uniform Shop, the Canteen, Parents and Friends meetings and Sport Carnivals. Everyone is invited to be a volunteer at CRC in 2016!
I attended the inaugural Mary Glowrey lecture at ACU last Thursday where Tim Fisher AC, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, was the Guest speaker. Tim regaled all present with stories of Mary Glowrey, interspersed with his views on life in the Vatican City, the state of play with the Church and global politics. After the formalities, I met several members of the Glowrey family and invited them out to CRC Melton next year to formally open the Glowrey building, formerly known as the VCE Science building. We pray that Dr Sr Mary Glowery will become Australia’s second Saint within the next two years.
