27th October, 2015 Reflection May God bless us with discomfort at easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships, so that we may live deep within our hearts. We are called to love. May God bless us with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that we may work for economic justice for all people. We are called to be just. May God bless us with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, hunger, homelessness and rejection, so that we may reach out our hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy. We are called to compassionate action. And may God bless us with enough foolishness to believe that we can make a difference in the world so that we can do what others claim cannot be done. We are called to serve the poor. Amen. (taken from the Marianist Social Justice Collaborative)
Year 12 Graduation Mass
Year 7 2017 Enrolment Evening
The Year 12 Graduation Mass was a fitting finale for the Year 12 class of 2015 - a celebration of the Eucharist presided by Fr Brian Glasheen, Fr John O’Reilly and Fr Charles, followed by the Graduation Ceremony. St Catherine's Church was filled with parents, grandparents, siblings and family of the Year 12 class.
An Enrolment Meeting for Year 7 2017, will be held on Wednesday 11th November 2015 at 7.00pm in the Performing Arts Centre.
I have included Fr Glasheen's Homily in this newsletter as his words were inspirational to our Year 12s and indeed all young people present. Best wishes to all Year 12s who are sitting VCE Exams this week (and their parents!) Major Awards were presented to:
