Catholic Identity

This week, across the school we all celebrated the special Feast of The Assumption of Mary.  Our Years 3 to 6 went to Mass and joined our parishioners in a beautiful Mass for the Assumption.  Students were involved in Altar serving, singing in the choir, offertory and readings and prayers.  Many lovely comments were made by the parishioners on the beautiful participation and reverence of our students. 

The students in the Junior Years participated in their own class Feast of the Assumption Paraliturgies.  The students across all the Junior Years classes set up a beautiful prayer space as their central prayer focus and joined in prayers and singing.  

The Catholic Church teaches that the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, was taken up body and soul into heaven at the end of her earthly life. As a Church we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on August 15 each year.   The Assumption of Mary can best be described as Mary going up to Heaven, ‘body and soul’, assumed into Heaven.  

This week the students at St Brendan's paid a beautiful homage to Mary this week in their participation in the Masses and Paraliturgies on Tuesday.
