Coming together as Community

Term 3 ended with the celebration of the Mass. Term 4 will begin with a focus on the Year 12 Graduation and Mass. Celebrating the Mass is a very important part of our identity at Damascus College. The Mass brings us together as community and it is a joy and delight watching so many students participate in many ways to make each mass a true celebration in the Catholic tradition.

Thank you to each and every student and staff member who gave up their valuable time to contribute to the Damascus Day Mass.  It is wonderful to see the many talents of our students and staff on a day such as this.  There were many students who sang, read, took part in a procession, played the drums, provided lighting, or made a lantern. This all contributed to making it a special event for the whole school community.

We look forward to working with Year 12 students as they plan their final Eucharistic celebration.

Santa Maria AINARO

Prior to COVID-19, Damascus College raised money to contribute to an infrastructure project at the Santa Maria AINARO (I-NAH-RO) school in East Timor. Damascus was able to support the school in building a fence. As the project is now complete, Fr Eugenio from Santa Maria, would like to personally thank Damascus College for contributing the financial resources to assist with their fence building project. He expressed how overjoyed he is at the difference it is making.  It has enabled the people to come together and grow produce to benefit the local community.

Here is a gallery of photos that Fr Eugenio has shared with us showing the start of the project and the now completed fence.
