Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers and mother figures who have supported and nurtured our students throughout their lives. Last Friday morning, Patrician Brothers’ Blacktown and Nagle joined for a wonderful Mother’s Day Mass at St Patrick’s Church. Thanks to Mr Greg Beacroft and Mr Anthony Pope, who worked with the RE staff from Nagle College over recent weeks to prepare. Fr Stephen led our liturgy with great sincerity, providing a poignant and prayerful tribute to all our mothers. The students then joined Fr Stephen and the two school Principals to distribute roses to their mothers and grandmothers as a simple expression of their love and gratitude ahead of Mother’s Day.
