Celebrating the Mass 

Each week students from both the Secondary and Primary Campus celebrate mass with Fr Gonzo in St. Joseph’s Church. These experiences provide an opportunity for all students, regardless of faith or belief to come to know and understand the actions and rituals of the liturgy.  Students can ask questions about the space in which we gather, as well as the many symbols and rituals experienced as they develop a greater sense of belonging and involvement in the liturgy. 

On Monday, students from Years 2, 4 and 5 gathered to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of Mary – a celebration of Mary being taken body and soul into heavenly glory.  In preparation for the celebration, Year 2 students produced some wonderful images of Mary being assumed into heaven, while the older students participated in the readings, prayers, and offertory of the mass.   

“The purpose of every school Mass is to unite all present more closely to Christ, to deepen their love for him and for others”  (Diocese of Westminster) 

God Bless
