2007 Opening School Year Mass for Holy Cross Primary School

On the Feast of Sts Cyril and Methodius, February 14th, we celebrated our Opening School Year Mass with the children, parents and teachers of Holy Cross. Various grades prepared different parts of the Mass with Year 6 and their dramatic interpretation of the story of Noah encouraging us to trust in the Lord.

Mrs R was joined on the keyboard by Mr J with his electric guitar and Mrs P and the choir led us in the singing. Father Stephen and many parents were able to join us on this occasion as were the new Kindergarten children who were welcomed into Mass after Communion.

Fr Paul bestowed a special blessing on the new Kinders, other children and staff new to the school. All the teachers were invited forward and received a poster of a prayer for their classrooms. The Mass concluded with the singing of the school song, "This Holy Cross". After Mass the children joined their parents for a picnic in the school grounds.
