On Sunday, we celebrated the Feast day of St Anne and Joachim in our parishes. 

Joachim and Anne were the parents of Jesus’ mother, Mary. We honour Joachim and Anne as saints. Anne is the patron of grandmothers, among many other things, and Joachim of grandfathers and grandparents. Their love for one another and for Mary is an example to us of how God calls us to live. They also remind us to honour our own grandparents and to thank them for the blessings they have passed down to us in love. 

Today we celebrated the Feast day of St Anne and Joachim as a school. What a blessing that we are able to join together once again as a school and share our faith. Thank you to those of you who were able to join us. We are looking forward to beginning our class/parish Masses again, starting with Room 6 and 7 this Saturday at 6pm.
