Marist Brothers Linmeyer – Mandela Day 2024

By bzwadmin Mandela Day 2024, Marist Brothers Linmeyer No Comments

We commemorated Mandela Day, a day deeply rooted in our Marist characteristic of Simplicity, by setting a challenge for our students to collect 670 cans of soup to donate to our charities. The number “67” represents the years Nelson Mandela fought for human rights.

We arranged the cans of soup in the High School quadrangle to form the number 46664, symbolising Mandela’s prison number and his enduring fight for freedom. The cans of soup will then be distributed to our charities.

Furthermore, we invited all of our parents, grandparents, friends and teachers to dedicate 67 minutes to making sandwiches for the less privileged in our MRC amphitheatre. The sandwiches and soup cans are now packed and ready for distribution to those in need in our local community.

It was truly heartwarming to receive such generous donations from all our students, parents, guardians and staff. We thank you once again for being a part of our one-school initiative at Marist Brothers Linmeyer.

Celebrating Champagnat Day – Marist Brothers Linmeyer

By bzwadmin Celebrating Champagnat 2024, Marist Brothers Linmeyer No Comments

On 6 June 2024, we celebrated Champagnat Day Mass in L’Hermitage Hall, a shift from our usual venue in the High School quad, but all the more special.

The Marist Brothers Linmeyer community gathered to honour the remarkable life and work of St. Marcellin Champagnat, the founder of the Marist schools worldwide. The day included a Mass presided over by our chaplain Fr Tshepo Duik, along with priests from some neighbouring parishes. Afterwards, our High School participated in an Alumni soccer and netball match that built the connection of our family that continues even after matriculating. Our Pre-School and Primary School enjoyed their morning with fun-filled games and picnics that allowed them to bond over the importance of our school’s history.

We extend our gratitude to the Marist Brothers Linmeyer community for joining us in this celebration.

Ash Wednesday – Marist Brothers Linmeyer

By bzwadmin ash Wednesday, Marist Brothers Linmeyer

On Wednesday, 14 February 2024, Marist Brothers Linmeyer celebrated Ash Wednesday. After liturgy readings and a motivation from Fr Eduardo Gabriel, students, staff and parents received ashes on their foreheads. This is a meaningful and traditional way to observe Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. It’s a time for reflection, repentance and spiritual growth leading up to Easter.

Joint Rosary Prayer 2023

By bzwadmin Dominican Convent Belgravia, Homepage news, Marist Brothers Linmeyer, Sacred Heart College, St David’s Marist Inanda, St Henry’s Marist College, St Joseph's Marist College

Every year, the Marist Schools in South Africa set aside an hour in October to say a decade of the Rosary during this special month. October is seen as the month of the Rosary due to the fact that the liturgical feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated annually on 7 October. As Marists, we have a special devotion to Mary and it is important to us to mark this month in a way that brings us all together in prayer.
