Eucharist Family Faith Night 

This week on Tuesday night the year 4’s had a family faith night about the Sacrament of Eucharist. Here are some of the year 4’s opinions about The Eucharist.

“I am feeling nervous about eating the bread”

“I was lucky to receive a necklace (rosary beads) at the presentation mass”

“I felt nervous, but Jesus was with me”

“I felt really happy to be there and I got to learn more about Jesus”

“It was a good night, I got to spend time with my parents learning more about traditions and their experiences when they were young”

Mary Glowrey Museum  

On May 15th and 23rd, the Year 6 classes went on an excursion to the Mary Glowrey Museum in the city. During this excursion, we learnt many fascinating facts about Mary Glowrey’s life. We also learnt about what she did as a sister and doctor in India, and the incredible story of her life. Did you know that Mary Glowrey was the first female to become a nun and a doctor at the same time? She needed special permission from the Pope to do this! One of our guides at the museum was Mary Glowrey’s great-niece, who provided us with an amazing source of information.  As we toured the museum, we admired numerous replica artefacts and photographs from Mary Glowrey’s life. We all had an amazing experience and learned many facts about Mary Glowrey!

Saint Patrick's Cathedral 

On May 15th and 23rd, the Year 6’s went to St Patrick's Cathedral. On the outside of the building, there were lots of carvings on the wall. When we got inside, we went on a scavenger hunt before Mass was in session. During the scavenger hunt, we explored different altars and chapels, describing what we saw. It was truly magical with how beautiful it was, the atmosphere being amazing. We were assigned to answer questions about the Cathedral, one of which required us to count all the visible pillars. While we searched for the answer, we discovered there were 52 visible pillars inside. 

Did you know that St Patrick's Cathedral was one of the two largest churches completed significantly in the 19th century? It was really interesting to learn all about the Cathedral and that we even got to see the priest preparing for mass! While we were there, we also admired the massive organ, which has 4,762 pipes and a set of Spanish trumpets. We all had lots of fun, and we learnt a lot inside the cathedral and we were extremely grateful for this opportunity to go!

Answer to the joke!

A depresso!

Enjoy the weekend everyone!
