5th May, 2015 Reflection Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. (John 15: 4–5) We praise you, God of life and growth. You have promised that we shall abide in you, and you in us, and that, through the love we show to others, we will be fruitful. May our lives show forth your love so that our fears shall become love and our sorrows shall become joy. We pray that the grace of Jesus Christ, the true Vine, will always flow into our hearts so that we can reach out and share your love with each person we meet. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
PAC Official Opening Archbishop Denis Hart was on hand yesterday to officially bless and open our magnificent Performing Arts Centre. Along with Archbishop Hart was Stephen Elder, Executive Director of CEOM, our Parish Priests, Brian Glasheen, John O’Reilly and Michael Moody and Sisters Mary Fermio and Therese Dagge. Archbishop Hart was most impressed with the staff and students he encountered on his official visit while all guests were impressed with the PAC itself. A special moment was the unveiling of the statue of St Mary Mackillop which was well received by Sisters Mary and Therese. If you get a chance, please call in for a look. Thanks to all staff, students and parents who had a hand in this event. Mark Sheehan Principal
