many, many people have contributed to our College, but without the generosity of the Tardun community in donating the pews, altar, stations of the cross, stained glass windows and many other remnants of their Chapel, and the vision and hard work of Mr Peter Baldry, who organised the donation and then physically transported (with Mr Louis Miller) all the Chapel fixtures, Sunday’s celebration may have remained a pipedream.

can be, moments when we may have an extremely ill child, parent or friend; times waiting for medical test results; periods in our lives where we are faced with momentous financial, or personal, decisions.

Our new Chapel is a blessing we would like to extend to you, either by your participation in our House Masses held most Thursdays, or at any time you feel the need. More importantly, it is an opportunity for you to assist your sons in gaining an understanding of the

Last Saturday evening our College community joined with the Parish of St Patrick’s to celebrate our Family Mass.

It was very pleasing to see 600 people from the two communities gathered together to share in the celebration of the Eucharist.

Our tradition of holding two Family Masses each year is a wonderful sign of the very close relationship we hold with our local Parish. Fr Tony Maher is generous in his support of the College and is always willing to help us celebrate key College events.

When we see students, their parents and teachers gathered together, it reinforces the essential three-way partnership that must be nurtured in order to educate and form good young men who have a spiritual dimension that can shine forth in our secular world. Our community celebration of liturgy, especially the Mass, gives a powerful witness to a God who is active in our lives and seeks to deepen His relationship with us.

At the conclusion of the Mass, Fr Tony commissioned the 10 students and two teachers who are soon to depart for the Philippines to undertake an

immersion experience working with the Christian Brothers. These young men have volunteered to take themselves considerably out of their comfort zone and to stand side by side with the poor who live on the margins. The participants were presented with a simple wooden crucifix and College tee-shirt, and they were instructed by Fr Tony to wear them as a symbol of their faith in Jesus Christ and as a sign of their membership of the CBC Fremantle community.

Fr Tony concluding the commissioning with the following prayer: All-powerful and merciful God, you reign from your throne of service.

Help these, students and teachers, to continue their pilgrimage as they journey from their homes.

Show them the way of service to each other and those they meet.

Help them understand and appreciate all they encounter.

Under your protection let them reach their destination and come home at last, to a welcoming and loving community.
