Mission Update – Term 3 Week 4
Today, we gathered as a College community to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of Mary which is a day of great significance for the Catholic Church and for the Marist family. The Assumption reminds us of our belief that Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was taken body and soul into heaven at the end of her earthly life. It is a celebration of the hope we have in Christ, and the promise of eternal life. For Marists, this feast is particularly special, as it is our own feast day — a time to honour Mary, who is our model of faith, humility, and service.
Our celebrations began with three beautiful Masses across the College, celebrated by Fr Kaz, Fr Emmanuel, and Fr Edmond. These moments of prayer brought us together to give thanks for Mary’s life and her ongoing presence in our journey of faith. Following mass, the day continued with our annual fete, filled with delicious food, exciting activities, and a joyful atmosphere. All money raised from today’s fete goes towards supporting Australian Marist Solidarity – the international aid agency of the Marists. We then concluded the day with a special episode of Taskmaster filmed and edited by our talented Media Studies students, featuring our Leaders of Wellbeing under the creative direction of Mr Lang.
It was such a beautiful day of community and celebration, and one that could not be possible without the support of our students, families, and staff, especially our guild coordinators who led the many activities and food stalls at the fete. Their hard work and efforts really helped make today wonderful.
