Trip to Mary Mackillop Centre
It was our 60th Diamond Jubilee and we went to the Mary Mackillop centre in Mission Bay where the Josephite sisters live. We went there because they were the ones who founded our school in 1954. We went inside the chapel and we celebrated the Eucharist, Fr. Peter officiated the mass.
Before we started Sr. Colleen was welcoming us to the Mary Mackillop centre and she introduced us to Sr. Elizabeth, one of the first sister who taught in our school and she was the principal in 1954. The church had a dome shaped roof and there was a big circle window saying “ Go out, You may not rest secure for need calls loudly, You must seek God there, Loving shall be your flame. “. There were lots of seats and the seats at the back were for the Sisters. I am thankful for the sisters because they found our school and they kept it going.
We started with our opening hymn, Mother Mary of the cross. After the song Father Peter started the mass. During the mass you could hear people singing and whispering to each other. The chapel looked like our church the dome roof and the shape look similar. We had the gospel then prayers for the faithful. Next we greeted each other by shaking hands and saying “ peace be with you.” . The mass was going to end in a short time but before that we had the bread and then prayed. Short time later the mass finished and did our final song which was with give me a J. Sr. Colleen told what we were going to do so then we went with our groups and explored the place.
