18.01.2022 Tomorrow is the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a significant day in the Liturgical Calendar for Presentation Sisters and Presentation Communities, such as St Agatha’s. As a school goal this year, we have aimed to develop our understanding of Nano Nagle’s story and the Presentation Charism. With that in mind, today our school community celebrated Presentation Day with a whole school Liturgy and some rotational prayerful events. Our Year 6 leaders led us in, a guided... meditation and prayers at our Labyrinth, the making of gratitude cards and lantern making, to symbolise the lantern that Nano Nagle carried to light her way. Tradition tells us that Nano carried a lantern as she moved through the darnkness in the streets of Cork in search of children to educate and the local poor in desperate need of food, comfort and shelter. Please see our newsletter for photos from our celebration of Presentation Day and a very special thank you to Mr. Knowles for organising a wonderful celebration. #ourstoshare #BCE #brisbanecatholiceducation St Agatha's Catholic Parish Clayfield See more
