As part of Cabra Dominican College's 140th Anniversary celebrations and in honour of St Dominic's Day, I was privileged to attend a special Mass with two future Cabra students, Olivia and Jensen. Together we joined the entire school community and invited guests in the gymnasium for a beautiful celebration of faith, followed by a morning tea. It was wonderful to witness the strong sense of community, hospitality and joy that are at the heart of Cabra. St Dominic, who founded the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) in the 13th century, is remembered for his deep faith, love of learning, commitment to truth, and dedication to sharing the Gospel with others. These values continue to inspire the Cabra community today, making it a fitting occasion to celebrate both the College's rich history and its bright future. It was also lovely to catch up with some old Nativity Scholars too!
