Opening School Mass for the Learning Community of Blessed John XXIII Parish

On Monday 29th January 2007 the staffs of the three schools who comprise the Learning Community of the Parish of Blessed John XXIII, Glenwood-Stanhope Gardens gathered together to celebrate the Beginning of the School Year with Mass which was concelebrated by Fathers Paul and Stephen.

This was an historic occasion and Mass was celebrated in the library of Blessed John XXIII School, Stanhope Gardens. After Mass morning tea was hosted by the Stanhope Gardens staff and the three school staffs were taken on a tour of the new church by Fr Paul who explained the various parts and vessels within the new Church. We were then led down to St Marks College and shown around the new school which was preparing for its Year 7 intake of 80 students.
