Today, we celebrated a very special day in our Church calendar – the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The word assumption means “to be taken up” or “to be received.” This feast honours our belief that, at the end of her earthly life, Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken body and soul into heaven. It is a celebration of her faithfulness to God, her closeness to Jesus and her part in His victory over death.
This feast is a sign of hope for all of us. It reminds us of God’s loving plan – that we, too, are called to live with Him in eternal life. It shows us God’s deep love and the special place He has prepared for each of us.
As part of our celebration, we thank Year 6 for leading the school in a beautiful prayer assembly to honour our Blessed Mother. Through their prayers, we were reminded that Mary’s life was fi lled with love, courage and trust in God – qualities we are all invited to follow. We encourage families to take a moment this weekend to pray together and give thanks for the gift of Mary in our lives.

Saturday – 5:00pm.

Sunday – 8:00am, 9:30am and 5:00pm.
