Liturgical celebrations at Сư³æ´«Ã½ are driven by our Mission Statement, \u2018Be a Light to the World\u2019.<\/p>\n
We honour major feast days and holy days central to our Catholic tradition, including the feast of our patron St. Mary of the Cross Сư³æ´«Ã½. Students participate in a variety of liturgical celebrations from class, grade, K-6 and K-12 experiences. Students willingly accept responsibility to participate in a variety of ministries within the mass, including reading, procession, ministers, servers and dramatic or dance-based performance to expand and deepen the experience for all. We are blessed to have our Church on campus and this provides a central hub for prayer, liturgy and an overall sense of belonging to the St. Mary of the Cross Сư³æ´«Ã½ Parish community. For larger celebrations our spacious Stephen Aitken Hall opens up to provide a sacred space for over 1500 people. Liturgy provides an opportunity to gather and worship as a community of believers in Jesus, following in the footsteps of St. Mary of the Cross Сư³æ´«Ã½.<\/p>\n
