The Assumption Feast Day ~ 15th August
On Friday, 15th August, we celebrate the to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of Mary, a significant day in our Catholic tradition. Our school community will come together to celebrate this Marian Feast at our Whole School Mass Assembly on Monday 11th where our Preps students will lead us in prayer.
As a faith community, we take this opportunity to reflect on Mary’s life, a life marked by deep faith, unwavering trust in God, and a spirit of humble service. Mary said “yes” to God’s call and lived a life of devotion: to God, to her Son Jesus, to her family, and to her community.
She remains a powerful model for us all, students, staff, and families alike, of courage, compassion, and love. In our liturgies and classroom prayers, we will honour her example and ask for her guidance as we continue to grow in faith and service.
May we, like Mary, strive to live lives of generosity, faith, and love.
