Damascus Day Mass Preparations Begin
31 August
This week Religious Education classes have commenced the class activities that lead to Damascus Day Mass to be held in the John Shannon Centre at 10:30 am on 14th September.
As a community of faith are called to live through the power and strength of the Holy Spirit. In John’s gospel, that will be proclaimed on Damascus Day, we are challenges to be fruitful. It is through the power of prayer and the action of the Spirit that things can be accomplished, changed and renewed. There is always the possibility of life anew if the Spirit is with us. Students have been considering Paul’s advice to the Galatians: “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control…If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.” Galatians 5:22-23
To symbolise our reliance on the God, students are creating a massive vine that will feature the work of every student. Each Teacher Advisor group has been asked to offer a volunteer to support the construction process and become involved directly in aspects of the ceremony.
The Mass will be the central element of a day of celebration.
