On Friday 23rd May, we gathered as a school community to celebrate our Year 11 and 13 Leavers` Mass. We were blessed to have Father Peter Murphy from Parkwood join us to celebrate this special occasion.
It was a joyful and reflective time shared together, with Father Peter’s homily reminding us of the power and importance of prayer in every stage of our lives. The readings were especially meaningful — the message of the Apostles being `sent off` guided by the Holy Spirit, followed by the Gospel of John where Jesus says:
“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit.” (John 15:16)
As our students take their next steps, we continue to hold them in our prayers and wish them every blessing for the future. 💙🙏

This afternoon Father Dermott O`Gorman celebrated Mass for our Deanery Retreat Day. In his homily he reminded us that Jesus Christ is our Hope. He also asked us to consider how we find ourselves as Pilgrims of Hope, and how the young people in our care, look to us in Hope.
