Fortunate Pupils
Those of our faithful who went to a Catholic school in the
1940s or 1950s cherish fond memories of their time there.
They remember the nun with an Irish accent, the French
priest with a bad temper or the sweet young Belgian
brother who dedicated their lives to their Catholic
upbringing giving them, on top of an excellent academic
formation, moral certainties and a faith to move
mountains.
Since then generations have passed and Catholic schools
went through a rather radical change so as to be hardly
recognizable today. Where are the days when life at school
was Christ-centred? Prayer before and after classes, trust
in Jesus, Mary and Joseph, devotion to the saints, deep
love for the faith and firm discipline - respect for elders:
parents and superiors. Are all these things gone forever?
By God’s grace, they are not; there exist schools where the
timeless doctrine of the Church is still being taught and the
perennial Catholic way of life on the agenda, schools were
the main concern of the teachers is the sanctification of the
pupils.
Parish Life
The result of these schools is marvelous. A simple chat
with the boys and the girls from the parish who went to or
still go to such schools(*) is enough to make you understand
what a privilege and unique experience it is to be educated
in a truly Catholic environment and how it deeply shapes a
personality.
Fortunate pupils, indeed, who are formed by priests,
brothers and sisters who look after their souls guiding them
on the way to holiness, helping them to know the Will of
God and fulfil it.
We will always be ready to support the parents who make
the sacrifice to send their children to true Catholic schools
and their educators too can count on us to offer them
assistance so far as we are able to .

First Baptism of 2015. On Tuesday 13 January, feast of the Baptism of Our Lord,
little Adrian Shen, son of Alson and Celine, was regenerated by the waters of
Baptism. Our best wishes to this new child of God and to his happy parents!
Fundraising. Thanks to the dedication of the organisers and the generosity of their
customers, last Sunday Food Fair was a great success. Approx. $800 were raised to
contribute to the building of the Dominican Convent in Tynong, Australia.
Next appointment with the Saint Martha Committee: the Shrove Tuesday crepe
party!
One day a friend asked
Napoleon:
“What is most needed
to win a battle?”
Napoleon replied:
“Three
things
are
necessary for victory.
The first one is money,
the second one is
money, and the third one is . . .
Money.”
On behalf of the Dominican Sisters
of Wanganui, thank you for helping
them win the battle!
