Mission
Bishop Michael McCarthy – 10 years
In celebration of Bishop Michael McCarthy’s 10th anniversary of leading the Rockhampton Diocese, a small group of Shalom representatives attended a special Mass at the Holy Rosary church on Monday 27 May, along with others from the local Catholic Parish and primary schools. Both Bishop Michael and the nuncio, Archbishop Charles Balvo, were in Bundaberg for the celebration. After Mass our students, Cameron W, Michael C, Charlotte J and Joann J, met Archbishop Balvo and also congratulated Bishop Michael on behalf of the Shalom communities.
Masses
Gathering as a community to participate in Mass is central to being Catholic. As a Catholic School, we provide opportunities for students and staff to participate in Masses, regardless of their own faith background or none. Therefore, each House will join with another, to celebrate a House Mass during one of their timetabled Assembly times in Term 2 or Term 3.
Each Religious Education class will also cohost a Wednesday morning Mass at 8am in our chapel. This Mass occurs during term time and is a Parish Mass, so it is open to all. The Mass finishes before the 8.40am bell. Religious Education teachers will email a notice to families prior to their allocated Mass, and we encourage attendance. Upcoming Masses will be hosted by our Senior students.
