Final week for Project Compassion HCC

As we enter our final week of school we also enter into our final week of Fund raising for Project Compassion. A huge thank you to the many projects that have been organised by so many members of the Holy Cross community. Just as big a thank you to all those members of the community who have taken part by sponsoring activities and spending money at one of these activities. I also want to thank everyone who also just gave without needing anything in return. We aspire to answer the call of Pope Francis.

“Humanity has the ability to work together in building our common home”

We start this week by bidding farewell to our group of Camino Santiago de Compostela pilgrims. We wish them a memorable experience of the pilgrimage following the footsteps of Rosendo Salvado during Holy Week. They will be able to experience Easter preparations in each of the towns they visit along the way and then experience Easter Sunday in the beautiful Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, dedicated to St Mark, the apostle.

On Friday I invite members of the Holy Cross community to join with staff and students in the Holy Cross College Annual Stations of the Cross. These will be held in the Parish Church of St Helena of the Cross at both 9.30am and 10.15 am.

May I wish you all a happy and holy Easter. I would encourage you to try and attend some of the important Liturgies that are held over the Easter weekend. They are filled with so much symbolism and rich pageantry in our remembrance of the death and resurrection of Jesus and how it influences our faith.
