Diocesan Matric Mass

On Friday 21 Feb 2020, Springfield Senior School hosted seven other Catholic Schools to celebrate the Diocesan Matric Mass in our beautiful gardens, poignantly called our open air cathedral by Mr Richardson. Fr Peter John was the main celebrant and shared a powerful message of hope and building tenacity of spirit. Inspiring our matriculants to think and believe in the scope of their potential without limiting themselves due to their respective circumstances, irrespective of what they may be.

Fr Manuel, Fr Jackson and Fr John concelebrated, accompanied by Deacon Sampson.

The Mass held in the gardens, provided a tranquil setting of peace and unity amongst our students. Each school provided donations ranging from non perishable items to stationery, requested by our Community Engagement portfolio. Various local and school supported organisations will benefit from the generous variety of goods donated. Staff and pupils were truly in awe of our magnificent surroundings and have unanimously requested that Springfield host future matric masses in our gardens. The Eucharistic celebration was followed by a delicious variety of sweet and savoury treats for everyone. Our class of 2020 proved to be outstanding hosts. Our music department supported the liturgy in the most meaningful way. Deep gratitude for the network of support and assistance.
