Year 11 Mass & Commissioning of 2027 Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

On Tuesday, 27 October, we celebrated the Year 11 cohort Mass as well as the commissioning of the new Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion for 2027.

Sincere thanks are extended to Fra Oscar Aguilera, Mr Darren O’Neill, Mr Anthony Byrne, Mr Philip Oddie, Mr Joshua Sumich, Ms Rhiaan Tannahill, Year 11 PCG teachers, family, friends and the Year 11 students who attended the Mass and contributed to the celebration of this special occasion. We look forward to witnessing these students continue to serve the College Community in this new aspect of ministry. 

Cadre and Peer Minister Training

In order to prepare for the Year 8 Quest Retreat in 2027, Cadre Training and Peer Minister Training took place on Friday the 23rd of October and Monday the 26th of October respectively. Thank you to Mr Bernard Le Tessier and Mr Anthony Byrne for overseeing these training sessions and thank you to the Year 10 and Year 11 students who have generously volunteered their time to serve their younger TC brothers.

The next training day for Peer Ministers will take place after school on Wednesday, 17 February 2027. 

Year 10 Mass

We look forward to the Year 10 cohort Mass which will take place next Tuesday, 3rd of November and will be hosted by Mr Fletcher Cooke and PCG 10.2. As always, all are welcome to share in this celebration of the Eucharist. 

Friday Community Mass

Thank you to PCGs 8.1 and 8.2, led by Mr Seamus Gray and Mr Paul Presser respectively, for hosting Friday Community Mass this morning. Everyone is invited to attend next week’s Mass which will be hosted by PCGs 8.3 and 8.4. 

Thursday Morning Rosary

“Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them.” 

– Matthew 18:20

On Thursday morning, Year 11 student Benjamin Leahy led a few staff and students in praying the Holy Rosary for the intentions of our own spiritual development as well as the wellbeing of the College community.

It was a beautifully reflective way to start the day, and we look forward to praying together in the College chapel again next Thursday, 5 November from 8.00am to 8.25am. An invitation is extended to all – no experience is required as “How to Pray the Rosary” guides will be available for use.

Edmund Rice Education Beyond Borders (EREBB)

Year 9 Faith Pillar Leaders Orlando, Caspar and Joshua joined Edmund Rice students online from India, South Africa, Tanzania, Australia and other parts of the globe as part of the ERBB Global Leaders forum on Wednesday afternoon Perth time. The students had the opportunity to explore Christian Leadership and how they might employ some of the qualities Edmund Rice exhibited in their own leadership while learning a little about the background of the various schools involved. We look forward to the next global dialogue early next year.
