Celebrating St Patrick’s Day at St Mary’s

A representative group of us, including four students from Years 10 and 8, had the opportunity to attend the Archbishop’s Mass at St Mary’s Cathedral to honour the feast of St Patrick. Bishop Terry Brady and Bishop Danny Meagher co-celebrated the Mass alongside the Maronite Bishop Antoine Charbel Tarabay.

It was a beautiful mass, remembering the early foundations and contributions of the Irish community that paved the way to the multicultural face of Catholicism in Australia today. We are proud to honour St Patrick and the Irish faith tradition that has helped shape generations of Catholic education in Australia.
