Today we came together as a College community to give thanks to God for the beginning of the academic year.
Our theme for our Mass was Courage, our Core Value for 2023. The readings in the Mass called us to understand our place in the world, to be brave enough to ask for what we need, while reminding us that Jesus is with us every step of the way.
We were blessed to have celebrated with Fr Mathew, at his last College mass as well as welcome special guests, Peter Houlahan, Executive Officer of Kildare Education Ministries, Renee Oberin, Mission Leader from Kildare Ministries, Kathy McEvoy, Co-Chair of the Trustees and Jo Coonan, Chair of the Stewardship Council.
As a staff, we committed ourselves to the girls we teach and serve, to help them become the best they can be. Our Prefects were acknowledged and presented with their badges for their contribution to our College, as well as the Year 12 students. Our Year 11 Peer Support Leaders were also presented with badges and the Year 7 students were welcomed into our College community with a gift. It was a beautiful celebration to begin the year and remind us of our infinite potential.
