St Patrick’s Day

On Monday 18 March, four Year 10 students were privileged to attend the St Patrick’s Day Mass at St Mary’s Cathedral, celebrated by the Most Reverend Terence Brady, Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of Sydney. This occasion was a testament to the power of God’s grace and St Patrick’s profound impact on Catholicism in Ireland and Australia. 

St Patrick, a beacon of faith, is credited with being the first to preach the good news of Christ in Ireland, leaving an indelible mark on the country. His unwavering dedication to the faith inspires all Catholics and underscores the profound impact of evangelisation and spreading the Gospel to all corners of the world.

By celebrating the life of this great saint, we are reminded of the importance of evangelisation and preaching the Gospel, which is also central to our Dominican charism. Both St Patrick and St Dominic exemplify the dedication and zeal required to spread the Good News, each uniquely leaving a profound impact on the Church and inspiring believers to live out their faith with joy and enthusiasm.
