Chanel House News
House Masses commenced this week with the celebration of the Chanel House Mass. Father Aliki led the celebration of the Eucharist, and many parents, carers and family members were able to join in this special College event. We reflected upon the significance of the values that St Peter Chanel lived through his actions. Father Aliki, originally from Tonga, spoke about learning of St Peter Chanel going to Tonga on his mission, and this was central to his decision to become a priest.
Students from Chanel House graciously shared their gifts during the mass, with the choir members Sarah, Hannah, Leia, Talia and Nicola leading the congregation, accompanied by Maria on piano. Many students read, and each tutor group wrote a prayer of intercession, which enabled their voices and values to be very present in the celebration of mass. Kaia and Amelia acted as altar servers to support Father during the mass.
I would like to extend my gratitude to all parents and students who came to share in this event, to Dr Ireland, Ms Dove, Ms Bowland, Mrs Morizzi and Ms Ison for their support in putting the event together. Finally, thank you to the Chanel leaders, Co-Captains Serafina and Zara, and Liturgy Captain Kaia, for their enthusiasm and commitment to Chanel House.
