Feast Day Artwork
Following Mass, which was celebrated by Cardinal John Dew, our Feast Day artwork was unveiled and blessed. This year this is a set of Rosary Beads which were designed and created by Nikki Payne. Each form class was assigned a bead and together they made the Rosary. We are so pleased with the result and the beads hang proudly on the wall in the Lawson Foyer. They will be a constant reminder of Mary our Mother and her love for us.
