The Living Legacy of Mazenodians

Legacy is often understood as something handed down from the past, but at Mazenod College, legacy is alive and shaped and renewed each day. Legacy is not simply inherited, but created each day. This living legacy is carried not only in memory, but in living action.  It’s in the faith we celebrate, the relationships we build, and the way we serve others. It’s about the values that have come to define us and is present in each member of our community. It’s especially present in our students who shape and reshape the future, influence others positively and give new life to the Mission entrusted to us.

 

We find ourselves on a ten-day countdown to one of the most significant periods in our school year. In the midst of National Boarding Week, with our House Athletics Carnival, the Feast Day of St Eugene de Mazenod, Mazenod Mission Day and our 60th Anniversary celebrations ahead, we are reminded of what unites us in belonging to the Mazenod College community.

 

As the celebration of our 60th Anniversary culminates in three days of significant celebrations from next Friday, we give thanks for the legacy of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate and their founder, St Eugene de Mazenod. His vision ‘to form young men of faith, courage, and compassion’ lives on in each young man at the College, who are the living legacy of this original Mission. The true measure of our College is not only in its 

60-year history, but in each Mazenodian who continues to join our community each year.

 

As we celebrate in the days ahead, I want everyone in our community to remember that this celebration exists because of you and for you. Please join us.

 

I am immensely proud of this community and confident that the living legacy of Mazenod College is in very good hands.

 

‘Leave Nothing Undared for the Kingdom of God’

God Bless. Our community remains always in my prayers.
