On Monday we celebrated national Catholic School's Day with a combined school mass. It was inspiring for our students to join with St Joseph's in such a majestic setting showcasing the 120 year old Basilica's architecture. Thank you to Murray Pearson and Kerry Ryan for organising the mass migration of the school. Thank you also to St Joseph's for being such welcoming hosts.
Yesterday, the local Catholic School Principals' gathered to meet with the Bishop at his annual forum. The two key points I wish to share from the meeting are firstly our ongoing commitment to ensuring our catholic values are being lived within our schools and secondly our commitment to working with other schools locally in Communities of Learning (COL). St Kevin's is part of the Oamaru COL.
Today was Edmund Rice, our founders Feast Day. It was a pleasure to be able to host the Edmund Rice Reflection Group from our parish. On this special day I ask that you to keep the Christian Brother's in your prayers along with local woman, Helen Mulheron, who is currently working in India keeping alive the work of Edmund at the margins.
May God bless you
Paul Olsen, Principal
