On Monday the 28th of July we celebrated our Grandparents’ Mass in the Companions of Jesus Chapel alongside our community. It was great to see so many ākonga and their grandparents attend the mass, which was celebrated by Fr Michael Smith S.J. In his homily, Fr Michael reflected upon life with grandparents and their importance in the life of their grandchildren and the faith and stories that they pass on. We are grateful to all of our grandparents who attended the mass physically or were there in spirit, and pray for our grandparents who have died. We thank our staff and students who helped make this event a memorable one. We ask Sts. Joachim and Anne (Grandparents of Jesus) to intercede for our grandparents as they accompany their children and grandchildren by passing on their wisdom, faith, and love.
