College Mass
This week, we will be experiencing ou College Mass. It is going to be a little different, as only three-year groups can be present.
We thank in advance Fr Shane, from OLMC Parish for celebrating the Eucharist with us.
The readings for our mass are:
First Reading Jas 2:14-24, 26 James discusses the relationship between faith and good works.
Gospel Mk 8:34-9:1 Jesus teaches the disciples.
The Champagnat Heart - Carrying on the Tradition
Every year St Marcellin handwrote the names of every student and staff member who was part of a Marist school.
Every night, at the Hermitage in France, St Marcellin and the other brothers would offer prayers for all those names contained in this heart.
To continue this tradition, each year, at the beginning of each school year, the names of all the students and staff at Mount Carmel, are loaded onto a thumb drive. This thumb drive is then placed in the silver Champagnat heart which is displayed in the front office, under the ever-watchful eye of Mary.
At our College assemblies and liturgical celebrations, this heart is an important part of our sacred space.
This is a way that we live out the Marist characteristic of family spirit and the Carmelite belief of fraternity.
Next time you are in the office, look out for this small but important symbol of our College.
