From the Religious Education Coordinator

Easter is central to our Christian faith. By His suffering, death and resurrection, Jesus conquered sin and gave us the hope of eternal life. I encourage all to check the liturgies available in parishes for Holy Week – Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday/Easter Sunday. I wish all in our College community a holy and peaceful Easter break.

Staff Retreat and Spirituality Day

Staff participated in the Staff Retreat and Staff Spirituality Day at The Hermitage, Mittagong. The days were facilitated by Nathan Ahearne and John Hickey from the Marist Mission and Life Formation Team. The theme of the Retreat was ‘RE-spect: Worthy of a Second Look’. Staff were invited to respond to the statement: 

If we could see through the eyes of God in a contemplative way – the second loving look on all people whom we encounter each day.

The theme of Spirituality Day was ‘Known and Loved’.  Staff participated in a forum where we listened to the voices and stories of the ‘displaced’ in the world, which identified the dignity of each person as well as what God is saying to each of us in how we respond. In the World Cafe, the final session of the day, staff were invited to commit to an action.
