The Feast of St John Paul II – A liturgy

Part of our “Feast Day Reimagined” program!

JPC – always spiritual, flexible, responsive, inclusive, connected…..

On Tuesday this week, each Mentor teacher and their mentee students shared a very special liturgical experience in an intimate small-group setting to celebrate the life of St John Paul II and learn more about his influence as our school patron. This was held in small groups in response to the impact Covid restrictions have on our gathering in large numbers, as we would normally do for our Feast Day Mass and celebrations.

The Feast of St John Paul II Liturgy showed us that St John Paul II was a man of faith, hope and love, especially for young people. He challenges us to live lives of faith through our relationship with God, be courageous by stepping outside our comfort zones in all that we do, and to be of service to each other and those in need.

Our teachers are sincerely thanked for the way they embraced the opportunity to run the liturgy with their mentees – each made a special effort to create a reverent atmosphere for the liturgy in their spaces. We also thank the canteen staff who baked, iced and delivered 1000 individual House cakes for our students – some traditions must be maintained!
