Last Thursday, our school community gathered to celebrate the Solemnity of the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary with a College Mass. This significant occasion in our liturgical calendar was a wonderful witness of our Catholic faith, as we came together to honour Mary, the Mother of God, and seek her intercession in our lives.

The Mass was celebrated by Fr. Jaycee Napoles, the Assistant Master of Ceremonies at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Melbourne. In his thoughtful homily, Fr. Jaycee reflected on the significance of the Assumption, highlighting how Mary's entrance into heaven reminds us that, as humans created in God's image, we are both body and soul. He emphasized that one day, we too are called to share in this divine mystery.

The celebration was enriched by the participation of our students and staff, and the choir's beautiful hymns lifted our prayers to God.

May the Blessed Virgin Mary, assumed into heaven, continue to watch over our College and inspire us to grow in faith, hope, and love.
