St Mary’s Catholic College in Kingaroy celebrated its Feast Day on Friday, May 23, with a Mass, sausage sizzle and talent show.
The Feast Day began with Mass celebrated by parish priest Fr Nigel Sequeira.
Fr Nigel spoke of the importance of Mary to Catholics for her great courage and faith whilst facing adversity.
He also recounted his meeting with Nelson Mandela when he was working as a journalist. He spoke about Mr Mandela’s palpable presence as he entered a room and how he was a symbol of peace and reconciliation.
Fr Nigel challenged all in the St Mary’s community to strive to be people of faith, peace and courage.
One of the highlights was when the Year 3 and 4 classes performed an action song for the entire community.
At lunch time the entire College community gathered to enjoy a sausage sizzle lunch with ice-blocks for dessert.
The College’s Year 12 students, Principal Michael Nayler and staff helped to prepare the sausage sizzle for the entire community.
The Feast Day concluded with the St Mary’s Feast Day Talent Show in which students performed a variety of acts including dance, music, stand-up comedy, story-telling and even whipcracking.
The college’s award winning whipcracking team began the afternoon with a display of their impressive talents in the area outside the Maryknoll Centre. Staff, students and parents then moved inside the centre for the rest of the afternoon’s performances.
Mr Nayler said he was extremely proud of the high standard of performances from across his community and very grateful to the performing arts staff who had overseen the event.
He said parents and staff had been astounded by the incredible display of talent which had been showcased across the afternoon.
