Opening School Mass at St Joseph’s Primary School
On Friday, 7th February, St Joseph’s Primary School Park Avenue celebrated the new school year of 2025 with parishioners from Park Avenue Catholic Parish. The combined school and parish Mass was celebrated by Fr Jomon who advised the children that the greatest gift of all was to Love one another as he congratulated the children from prep to grade 6 on their excellent behaviour and responses during the Mass. School Principal Mr Bernard Fitzgerald thanked the special invited guests Mrs Catherine Simmonds from Catholic Education Office and Mr Kevin Hogan the Parish Manager of the Park Avenue Catholic Parish for their attendance and support and also thanked Mrs Elizabeth Carter for the preparation of the Liturgy and all the school children for their involvement and good behaviour and encouraged them to learn as much as possible during 2025 and eventually reap the benefits of their efforts at the close of the school year of 2025.
