Prayer
Prayer
Students and staff are encouraged to make prayer a part of their every day lives. Most classes commence with a prayer at the start of every lesson. Prayers are included in the College student diary or the boys can make up their own. Every Friday morning at 8am during the school term, Mass is said in the College Chapel. Also, all boys also have the opportunity for Reconciliation at least once during the year. The Chapel is available to visit at any time during the day and a book of intentions is located at the entrance to allow our community to write and share prayers and intentions for themselves, their family or friends or the extended community. These prayers are offered as intentions at Friday Mass.
At St Gregory’s, we celebrate the following occasions at Mass with the entire College community:
- Opening Mass (February)
- Feast of St Marcellin Champagnat (June)
- Feast of St Gregory the Great (September)
- Year 12 Graduation (Last week of Term 3)
- Christmas (Last day of Term 4)
In addition to the regular Friday morning Masses at other times of the year we celebrate with liturgy. A liturgy is different to a Mass. During a liturgy, we come together as a community to pray and celebrate but there is no consecration. Our extended family of parents and friends is always welcome to join us for these times of prayer. Our special liturgies include:
- Mothers and Sons morning (First week in May)
- Grandparents’ Day (Last week in May)
- Easter (Seasonal)
