At the Headmasters Assembly today, Fr Gavin led the College in prayer. He began by informing the students that Thursday November 1, is All Saints Day. You will be pleased to note that Fr Gavin refereed to you all, the parents, as Saints!!! How accurate he was.
Fr Gavin then discussed that All Souls Day is celebrated on Friday November 2 and that this is a time to stop and reflect on our loved ones who have passed. The Year 7 boys will have the opportunity both in the Religious Education classes and in some free time, to write a message to someone special to them that has passed. The boys can place this message in the All Souls chest in the Chapel. Fr Gavin with then bless these messages.
All Saints Day and All Souls Day stem from the belief that there is a powerful bond between those in heaven and the living. November is therefore a very special month and a time for us all to remember and pray for those who has passed.
