COMMUNITY OF FAITH
Next Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, the commencement of Lent, which is the holy season in the church's calendar in preparation for Easter. Year 7 - 9 Students will attend a Liturgy in the Mercy Centre whilst our Years 10 - 12 students will join with the Parish to celebrate Mass commencing at 9am in St Joseph's Cathedral. Parents, you are very welcome to join us for Mass.
On Shrove Tuesday the College will launch Caritas' Project Compassion to raise awareness and funds for developing communities in Australia and overseas. These activities will continue throughout Lent to nurture social justice, a key teaching of the Catholic Church.
