Earlier this month, our Year 8 students had the privilege of participating in a transformative Faith Formation Day led by Fr. Rob Galea. Fr. Rob shared his powerful testimony of discovering God’s love after a tumultuous life of crime during his early teenage years. His story of redemption resonated deeply with our students, offering them a raw and real example of how faith can transform lives.

In the second session, Fr. Rob explored the profound truth that peace is not merely the absence of conflict but the presence of inner strength and resilience amidst life's challenges. He emphasized that while things may sometimes go wrong, we still have the power to maintain our peace. Through engaging stories and practical advice, Fr. Rob provided insights into finding and sustaining peace even in the most turbulent times, offering our Year 8 students tools they can use in their everyday lives.

The day concluded with Fr. Rob offering both our staff and parish members the unique experience of a ‘Teaching Mass.’ This provided valuable insights into the liturgy, enriching our understanding and appreciation of the Eucharist.

Faith Formation Day with Fr. Rob Galea was a significant event in the spiritual lives of our Year 8 students, and we are grateful for the opportunity to have him at our College. Let us continue to pray for Fr. Rob and his ministry so that he may continue to reach the hearts of many with his message of Jesus’ transformative power.
