Ash Wednesday Mass

A huge thank you goes out to Father Anthony and the parishioners of St. Therese parish for allowing us as a school to attend Ash Wednesday Mass with the community.

The teachers have already commented on what a wonderful mass it was.

Here are some images from this mass.














"How good God is to me and how much reason I have to be grateful" 
St. Mary MacKillop(22.2.1899)

CARITAS - The Lent Appeal

What can you do to help others who are less fortunate than you?

We can help CARITAS in our small way to help others in the local and international community who are in need.

The Challenge has been laid out in the words of Pope Francis "God wants to speak to the world by your life... do not abandon the path of love"

How fitting are these words for us during this season of Lent!  Let us help to do good things for others.  Our good actions, no matter how small will show the world that God is speaking through us and we are listening to his call.

We are a school who supports the work of Caritas every year.  Like St. Mary MacKillop did in her lifetime, it is now our turn to do our bit, it is our turn to be of service to others.

"Do all you can to assist and love one another" St. Mary MacKillop (28.1.1890)

Lenten Season

Lent

Ash Wednesday 

Ash Wednesday falls on the 26th of February 2020.  This day marks the beginning of the Lenten Season.  
Lent lasts for 40 days.

Lent is a season of preparation.  Fasting, Prayer and Almsgiving.  This is our way to prepare for Easter.

The children are learning about the meaning of the Season of Lent and how they can prepare themselves by doing good things for others during the next 40 days.

We will join the community at St. Therese Church for Ash Wednesday mass at 9:15am.  
Please join us.

"Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel"



"The Cross is my portion – it is also my sweet rest and support." St. Mary MacKillop (To Flora MacKillop 26.2.1872)

Dedication Mass 2020



This was a fantastic gathering for all Catholic Educators in the Auckland Diocese.  Bishop Patrick Dunn celebrated the mass with all teachers who attended on behalf of their schools in our Diocese.


It was a mass to acknowledge all the hard work that everyone has put in to their respective schools and it was also a chance to acknowledge teachers/educators who have gained qualifications in Catholic Education.


Congratulations to Mrs Myocevich, Mrs Joseph and Miss Crawford from our school for their achievements in their studies, gaining qualifications in Catholic Education.







"God wants us by every means in our power to lead others to life. " St. Mary MacKillop (1899)
