Yr 12 Ignite the Future- Pentecost Mass

On Wednesday, the Year 12 students gathered to commemorate Pentecost, the significant day marking the birth of the Church. The Mass was designed to align with The Emmaus Project, emphasizing the gospel message "You are the light of the World" (Matthew 5:14-16) and its theme of igniting the future.

During the Mass, our school chaplain, Father Joe, skillfully incorporated the senior retreat theme of "Quo Vadis" (Where are you going?) along with the celebration of Pentecost. He aimed to inspire our students by reminding them that, like the Apostles, they are blessed with the presence of the Holy Spirit. Father Joe encouraged them to identify the "Salt" in their lives—the driving force that would ignite their passions and endeavors. He further emphasized that the Spirit would infuse them with courage as they embark on their journey beyond our school, illuminating the world with their unique gifts and talents. 

It was lovely to spend time after the Mass with our seniors and celebrate the birthday of the church with a cake. Fr Joe also enjoyed talking with Yr 12 and finding out what their plans were for the future.
