On Thursday 17 March, Meena Babawy and I, along with Mr Zammit, had the opportunity to visit St Patrick’s Cathedral in East Melbourne. We hopped on a train to the city and made our way to the annual Mass for Catholic Education Week on this feast of St Patrick. The architecture of the Cathedral was beautiful, and the high altar, bronze doors and stained windows never fail to show the true beauty of the 125-year-old Cathedral. We were lucky enough to take a photo with the Principal Celebrant and Archbishop of Melbourne, Peter A Comensoli. Guests from around Victoria were in attendance, such as Senators and MPs, Bishops and visiting Priests. The Mass was a wonderful occasion and opportunity to take part of and it was an honour to represent our College.

After attending the Mass, we headed to Melbourne Emporium, where we took part in the Michael Angelo Sistine Chapel Exhibit. The exhibition displayed many of Angelo’s art pieces found in the Vatican's Sistine Chapel that were created throughout his life. From the Creation of Adam to The Last Judgment, the exhibit did not disappoint. Each painting was displayed in a life-size proportion to invite you to a perspective of the art in real life.

I really appreciated the opportunity to attend, and I highly recommend visiting the St Patrick's Cathedral or the exhibition.
