Just a note of thanks to all who made the effort to get to Silverstream for the Easter Event. The Silverstream men were great hosts, even to turning on a winning rugby game for us on the Saturday afternoon. About 60 students turned up on Good Friday, as well as Hannah, Heath, Mark, and the JC Colin Team. Highlights for me were the outdoor Stations of the Cross created by the students. They took each Station and gave it as modern a meaning and interpretation as they could. They were extremely moving and very, very creative. The Vigil throughout the night was a test of perseverance (courage stretched out for those who have forgotten!) and then the Baptism ceremony on the steps of the Chapel was a memorable event as well. Thanks to the group of musicians and singers who added such life and talent to the gathering, and it was great to have Peter Browne from Silverstream on the keyboard through the night as well.
The other good thing from my point of view was to catch up with so many, hear how you are going in your leadership roles, and just have some time together agin. You people add more life and energy to the young Church than you realise!
I hope all is going well. Those we haven’t been to see yet we hope to visit soon. Keep up the great work. Remember, none of is is as smart as all of us.
Someone please let us know what is going on at Roncalli (a bit of boasting about Bishop Lyons maybe?), St Bede’s (Shiela Wynn), Town (Old Boy’s Cup), Stream, Hato Paora, St John’s, Marist, Challenge, Aquinas and Pompallier. I know there’s lots of good stuff happening, but not everyone else does. So let’s hear about it
