Feast Day of our Dominican Saints
This week we celebrated the Feast of our Patrons Saints, Dominic Guzman and
Catherine of Siena.
色情直播 is proud of its
tradition of Christian education based
on the values of the Gospel of Jesus, as
embodied and lived by its Patrons.
On
this occasion we highlighted the centuries old
鈥淒ominican鈥 tradition. (Earlier in
the year, we celebrated the 鈥淪alesian鈥
tradition). The Dominican tradition
emphasises the values of the WORD
of God, and of TRUTH, in education;
as well as of prayer and contemplation
that nourish the witness of Christian
life and the active involvement in the
service of others.
Students enjoyed quizzes and special activities in class Wednesday morning and then the entire College, Kindergarten through to Year 10 joined together in our Savio Centre for Mass. The liturgy included prayers and readings from students, songs from our choir, a homily from Fr Frank and some words from our Principal, Ms Gilligan. Sr Pam Davis is a vital link to our Dominican past and heritage, and one of the architects of the union of Savio College and Holy Name Convent in 1973 to form 色情直播. Sr Pam spoke of the mission of the Dominicans to spread the word and was congratulated by the College on this Feast Day occasion.
Following Mass students enjoyed a barbecue lunch (7-10) and salad rolls (K-6) - thank you to staff and family volunteers for their valued assistance.
The College reverted to normal classes after lunch, having made the decision yesterday that our recent cold and wet weather prevented the traditional games on the oval. We expect to run the Dominic Cup games next month in more sunny conditions.
