This October, our college came together for a beautiful Living Rosary event, uniting students and staff in a powerful display of prayer through devotion to the Blessed Mother. October being the month of the Rosary also aptly coincided with Pope Francis’ call to prayer for world peace.

A Living Rosary allows for the physical enactment of forming a rosary, with participants taking turns as representatives of each part of the prayer. This year, with the use of balloons, it was indeed an extraordinary show of collective prayer as a college community. The lunchtime event concluded with a mini re-coronation ceremony of Our Lady by Mrs. Vanessa Shaw (Religious Education Leader), Rita Youssif (College Captain) and Klark Nuestro (incoming Deputy College Captain).

Prayer (one of our College Pillars) allows us to be connected to our source of peace and power, God Himself. In these times wherein many of our brothers and sisters are hurting, praying with the Blessed Mother remains a timeless act of solidarity as we intercede for the needs of the world, and for our own families.
