Opening School Mass

Over the last two weeks Catholic Regional College St Albans have had two opening school masses. These masses were an opportunity to reflect on our theme `Listen to the cry of the poor, Listen to the cry of the earth'. Both Fr Vincent and Fr Maurie discussed with the students how during this time in lent we are on a journey with all those who struggle in our local and global community. The student leaders were inducted and received their badges in the mass. The following was the refrain used in the mass organised by Mr Marshall, Ms Petrucelli and our school choir.  

Refrain: Listen, listen to the cry of the poor and the cry of the earth

Listen.

Listen to the cry,

Listen to the cry of the poor.

I was hungry, you bought me food.

I was thirsty, you gave me a drink.

Refrain: Listen, listen to the cry of the poor and the cry of the earth

Listen.

Listen to the cry,

Listen to the cry of the poor.

I was worried, you comforted me.

I was alone, you included me.

Refrain: Listen, listen to the cry of the poor and the cry of the earth

Listen.

Listen to the cry,

Listen to the cry of the poor.

I had nothing, you provided for me.

I was sick, you took care of me.

Refrain: Listen, listen to the cry of the poor and the cry of the earth

Year 7’s meet our Principal Ms Utri

The tradition at CRC St Albans, in Term 1, is for Ms Utri to visit every Year 7 classroom during the religious education classes. This visit is an opportunity to discuss the vision of the school and learn more about the history of CRC St Albans. The Year 7 students developed a series of questions for Ms Utri, they ranged from what are the building plans for the school, to inquiring on her thoughts on leadership.  The feedback from Year 7 students and Ms Utri was very positive.
