Our students were invited to lead the Prayers of the Faithful at John Paul College Rotorua - JPC Chapel Mass this morning. They read so beautifully!
All students and whānau are invited to join us for Mass at 8.10am on Wednesday mornings. Just let Whaea Jenny know your child is attending so we can ensure enough transport back to school after Mass 🙂

What a blessing it was to have Monsignor Antonio Figueiredo visit us from Assisi with the relics of Saint Carlo Acutis! The children were fascinated and inspired by the story of "God's influencer!" To find out more about this modern day saint, head to www.carloacutis.com

Our staff had a wonderful retreat at Tyburn Monastery in Ngakuru 🤗
Sharing Mass and prayer with the Nuns was so special.
We also had Ange from MokoMade take us through a very meaningful Tukutuku weave session. Fantastic learning!
Fr Aidan Mullholland took us for an inspiring session about Catholic Leadership ⛪️ Very thought provoking.
We are so fortunate to have this place so close, but it feels like another world! So peaceful and calm.
God bless your weekend and we look forward to seeing you at 8am Mass at St Michael's on Sunday to welcome the St Carlo Acutis Relics.

Kyree Catena is an amazing Year 8 Student from John Paul College Rotorua - JPC . We are so grateful for how he is walking with our students in their faith journey. We have been joining him at the JPC Chapel Mass each Wednesday, and yesterday he joined us at our rosary in our Chapel. He then took the time to explain to our students about the saint relics he has gifted to our school. Thank you for praying with us and for us Kyree! You are a natural teacher and just a wonderful example to our students 🤗
