Community Masses

The Galilee and Jerusalem Communities have celebrated their respective Masses over the last couple of weeks. With restrictions lifting recently, Father Denis has been able to come into the classrooms to celebrate the Masses, in person. This has been yet another opportunity to be thankful at this time. It was not only a joyous occasion for the students and staff, but Father Denis was extremely happy to be there in person to celebrate with the children. Google Meet has been helpful with keeping our Mass schedule running during the restricted time, but there is no replacement for being there, face to face.

Christ the King Feast Day

This Sunday, the church calendar recognises Jesus, as our King. This feast day was instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1925. The reason for this addition to the liturgical calendar was to remind us that Jesus should be more important to us than any other. Kings and Queens have, for historical reasons, been seen as the ultimate rulers of people, and have the highest authority. Christians believe however, that Jesus is the ultimate ruler… of our hearts and minds. The Christ the King feast day is a way for us to recognise who is our biggest influencer.
