Congratulations to the children who received the Sacrament of the Eucharist for the first time on Saturday, 14 October 2023. God bless you all and continue to keep the light of faith burning in your lives by going often to Jesus in communion.
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.
Celebrating Our Rich Heritage! From vibrant colours to breathtaking traditions, our National Heritage Day came alive as students dressed in their unique cultural attire. It was a mesmerising display of diversity, unity and pride, reminding us of the beauty that lies within our shared history.
Nelson Mandela said, “Children are our greatest treasure”. On Thursday, 15 June, the High School celebrated Youth Day with a carnival of festivities. 86 children joined the students for a day filled with face painting, jumping castles, soccer and snacks! We treasured every moment spent with the children. What a way to celebrate our youth!
On Saturday, 27 May 2023, the confirmation candidates from Marist Brothers Linmeyer and St Patrick’s, La Rochelle, received the Sacrament of Confirmation from the Vicar General in the Archdiocese of Johannesburg, Father Paul Beukes. Confirmation Day was filled with spiritual upliftment and immense joy and happiness. God’s presence was truly felt and the confirmation candidates were all blessed to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Unity in Action! Our students, staff and parents joined forces in donating bread and crafting sandwiches for Mandela Day. Together we spread love, nourishment and hope, embodying the spirit of compassion and making a difference one sandwich at a time.
