Catholic Education Week ran from 10 - 17 March and our College Student Leaders were able to participate in the annual St. Patrick's Day Mass for Schools. Representing us were our College Captain, Rita, along with our three Deputy College Captains, Tileah, Tomasso, and Lucas, as well as our Social Justice Captain, Mihini.

The Mass, celebrated by Archbishop Comensoli, resonated with the theme 'In the Light of Christ,' emphasising the importance of our faith and the welcoming embrace of St Patrick’s Cathedral, our spiritual home. Catholic Education Week serves as an opportunity for schools across the Archdiocese of Melbourne to reflect on our Catholic identity and our integral role within the community.

Archbishop Comensoli's Homily reminded us of our shared calling to be saints, echoing the example set by St Patrick himself. Following the Mass, our student leaders engaged in the Young Speakers Colloquium at the Catholic Leadership Centre, delving into meaningful discussions about how each of us is summoned to embody the "Light of Christ."

As we reflect on this experience, let us carry forward the spirit of St Patrick, embracing our roles as leaders within our community through living fully and acting justly and to illuminate the path with the light of Christ in all that we do.
