We were honoured to welcome Most Reverend Vincent Long Van Nguyen OFM Conv, Bishop of Parramatta, to our College last week. During his visit, Bishop Vincent spent time with our students and staff, listening with genuine interest to the many ways our community lives and proclaims the message of the Gospel. He was particularly heartened by our strong commitment to the Diocesan Catechist Programme, through which our student volunteers generously share their faith journey with Catholic students in local state primary schools. He also commended the work of our Faith in Action team, who collaborate with our Faith and Mission Leaders to uphold the dignity of every person through active participation in, and support of, social justice initiatives. We are deeply proud of our students for their leadership, service, and commitment to living their faith in action. We thank Bishop Vincent for his encouragement and for the blessing he bestowed upon our community.
