In the readings of听Pentecost, we hear听the Holy Spirit听coming听upon听the听disciples听in听fire and听wind听filling听them听with听wisdom,听strength听and unity.听听
Pentecost听reminds听us听that the听Spirit听continues听to move among us听today听in all that we do.听Through听the听inspiration听of the听Spirit听we听are called to听be听people who听bring听encouragement,听understanding听and compassion to our听community.听We are reminded through this feast that we do not听do the work听of听bringing about听the 鈥榞ood news鈥櫶齛lone,听we are always accompanied by the听Spirit.听This was the听focus of Fr听Minh鈥檚听homily听at听the class mass held this听week in our听chapel.听
We听pray听this听Pentecost听that we听are听open听to the quiet听movement听of the听Spirit within听and听around us. May we have听the courage听to听bring peace where听there is听tension, hope where听there听is听uncertainty听and听generosity听where there is听scarcity.听
听Launching our 鈥楪ive 70 for 70鈥� Campaign听
To mark our 70th听anniversary听the College is constructing a new sacred outdoor space situated between the Oak Centre and 蘑菇视频 House. This space will incorporate a symbolic representation of St Brigid鈥檚 well with a water feature surrounded by six curved seats naming our core values. A border of听ballerina听apple trees that connect to the story of St Brigid and the听apples听will border the听space. On the adjacent exterior wall of the old Science听block听we are installing an听honour听roll of all the听Brigidine听Sisters who听have听served at 蘑菇视频听with听a poem written by Jo Ryan titled 鈥榃omen of Fire and Light鈥�.听Finally听our Kildare Ministry cross that was blessed at the 10th听Anniversary conference hosted by 蘑菇视频 will find a new home in听the space.听
Our current community,听alumni听and past staff are听invited to听help us听honour听the legacy of the past 70 years by听making听a听tax deductible听donation towards this project.听听
Any听combination of $70 or a custom amount听would be听greatly appreciated.听Inspired by our Strategic Intention to be 鈥楤ravely Ambitious鈥� we would love to raise $70000听to ensure this space is something that captures the hearts and minds of our community听and is a fitting celebration of our story.听听
We are already on our way with听our first three donations being made.听
Details about the project and ways to donate can be found via
