Education in Faith

End of Year Mass

This Friday at 9:15 we will have our end of year thanksgiving mass. The prep students will be presenting the Gospel in the form of the Nativity play. Everyone is warmly invited to join us as a community to give thanks for this school year.

Thank you for being a community that lives out the true spirit of Advent. Your kindness and generosity is a true example of what it means to prepare our hearts for Jesus’ coming by sharing love with others. May this season bring peace to your homes and blessings to your families.

Blessing of the Mural

Last Wednesday we gathered as a school community to bless our the Jubilee Hope mural. Father Arsenio joined us to bless the wall, our leaders lead us through prayer and the choir sang "Pilgrims of Hope'. It was a very meaningful ceremony. Here is part of the speech that Astrid, one of our Jubilee ambassadors, read. 

This mural stands as a reminder that hope is not just a feeling but a promise. It encourages us to look forward with confidence, trusting that God walks with us into every new day. As our school, Holy Spirit, continues its mission, may this image be a sign of faith, unity, and the joyful hope we share as a community. May we always remember where there is hope - God is there.
