MARIST COLLEGE ASHGROVE 1940 - 2020

80 YEAR ANNIVERSARY MASS

Reflection

This beautiful reflection extract taken from a recent Marist Life Formation team prayer is a beautiful way to remind us of our Easter hope.

Let us remember we are in the holy presence of God.

‘I tell you most solemnly, before Abraham ever was, I Am.” (Jn 8: 59)

I Am beauty.

I Am faithfulness.

I Am light that illuminates your way.

I Am new life.

I Am wisdom to see differently.

I Am your defender and protector from all evil.

I Am redeemer.

I Am your freedom.

I Am hope in times of despair.

I Am your reassuring presence.

I Am healer and divine physician.

I Am truth when confusion overwhelms.

I Am unity when division is rife.

I Am here.

I Am...

Amen.

Trish McCarthy, Grace: Lenten Program 2020: Catholic Diocese of Wollongong.

Mission and Ministry

While we cannot do all the activities that make up our MATES program at the current moment, this doesn’t mean we cannot be Marists in solidarity with others. We often don’t realise all the good we can do in small ways - a kind, encouraging word or helping hand and as a Marist community we are known for our capacity to look out and stand up for each other and we can do this in new ways in this time – checking in with friends, doing that extra task at home, staying on top of our school work, exercising patience and courage. These are all ways we can keep St Marcellin’s legacy alive.

We look forward to seeing you all again soon, ready and willing to work with people in need.

Game Changers Continuing

Game Changers is a new Mission program that has started for Year 7’s and Year 10’s.

Game Changers is for students who want to learn more about what it means to be a Marist boy, become better leaders and who want to make a difference in our community alongside their mates. Mr Burns is continuing to keep the Game Changers activities alive online. To register for Game Changers or for more information please email Adam Burns (College Youth Minister): burnsa@marash.qld.edu.au.
