The Epiphany of the Lord

THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD

JANUARY 6^TH, 2016

School recommenced on the Feast of the Epiphany which was celebrated with two Masses, the first for 6^th, 5^th and 4^th Years followed by the coming together of 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd Years, both in the Des Places Sports Hall.

Bro. Joe in his Homily for the Senior Boys reminded them that God enters our lives in ways which we don’t expect, that we do not know.  He suggested to the Junior Boys that the question is not “What did you get for Christmas?” but “What did you give for Christmas?”.

Of course, the greatest gift of all was the Infant Jesus, God made man.  Two marvellous liturgies – the perfect start to the New Year.
