May the Month of Mary

May is traditionally dedicated to Mary, Mother of God, and it is a beautiful time to let her faith shape our own. The Church encourages this devotion because it draws the faithful toward Christ,

One of the most powerful ways to understand Mary is through her “yes” to God. In a homily for the Solemnity of the Assumption, Pope Leo XIV reminded us that on Calvary, Mary was not distant she was united with her Son. 

He continued:

On the Cross, Jesus freely uttered that ‘yes’… Mary was there, united with her Son. In our day, we are like Mary whenever we do not flee, whenever we make Jesus’ ‘yes’ our own.” 

This matters in everyday life. When life becomes difficult when uncertainty grows, or when fear takes hold Mary shows a Christian way forward, not running from God, but choosing the Lord’s will, especially when it costs us something.

Let us pray for the intercession of Mary, our Mother so that we may come to know her Son more fully.

Family Rosary Evening

On Wednesday 13 May, the College will host an online ‘Family Rosary Night.’ This gathering offers a meaningful opportunity for us to come together as a Catholic faith community and pray to Our Lady during the month of May, traditionally dedicated to Mary. We will offer our prayers for our personal needs, the needs of our community and the wider world.

The Rosary will begin at 7:30pm and conclude at 8:00pm.

Families are invited to register via the link below. A livestream link will be shared with all registered families closer to the event.
