COMMUNITY OF FAITH
This Friday, our students will come together for our Welcome Liturgy and ANZAC Day Mass to pay our respects to those who have sacrificed their lives for our country. This celebration is also the perfect way for us to start our term and prepare for the weeks ahead. Our Year 8, 11, and 12 students will gather in St Joseph's Cathedral, while our Year 7, 9, and 10 students will watch via livestream in the Mercy Centre, uniting in faith and honoring our heritage in this meaningful event.
Our first TCC Parish Mass for this term will also be held this Saturday evening in St Josephs Cathedral at 6:00pm. This is a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together and celebrate our faith in an uplifting and meaningful celebration. We invite all members of our College community and their families to join us for this special Mass.
