Home < Boarding < Faith Development

We like to celebrate our Christian and Catholic Faith. Girls receive instruction in religious education lessons and have the opportunity to live and share that faith within the Boarding House community.  They attend Saturday evening or Sunday Mass, where all girls are encouraged to be active participants by reading, being Special Ministers of the Eucharist and providing music and singing.  From time to time girls will have the opportunity to attend Mass in other parishes.  Mass is also held at lunchtime on Thursdays at the College and students are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Daily prayers are held in each section every evening.  Under the guidance of a Housemother girls take turns in conducting these sessions and every girl is invited to contribute to this important part of our daily lives.  The Sacrament of Reconciliation is provided during Lent and other times, as deemed necessary, in the College or Boarding House. The girls are strongly
encouraged to make monetary offerings to CARITAS and to give generously to appeals for the needy; for example non-perishable foods and Easter Eggs
