In Fridays Mass, which marked the 6th Sunday of the Easter Season, the College celebrated the Feast Day of Blessed Edmund Rice. The weeks focus theme of INTEGRITY (Ngakau tapatahi) along with the touchstone value of “Justice & Solidarity” is well reflected in the life of Blessed Edmund Rice. The Masses readings, which came from St John, told students that God’s love was revealed to us when he sent his only Son Jesus into the world, as a sacrifice for our sins so that we might live as good people of God. Fr Wayne continued this theme in his Homily telling of the dedication shown by a young soldier rescuing the body of his fatally wounded comrade. Fr Wayne also explained how the Gospel spoke to people about keeping God's commandment to love one another as God loves us. He then related how Edmund Rice demonstrated this commandment through his life of service to God’s will by founding, and dedicating his life to the Christian Brother organisation.
The names of seven Christian Brothers who faithfully served here at the College were read out in the Prayers of the Faithful in remembrance of their service to St Kevin’s.
