The Loretto College School community came together to celebrate the First Mass of the School Year, marking the beginning of a new academic journey grounded in faith, hope, and unity. Rooted in the rich tradition of the Loretto Sisters and inspired by the vision of Mary Ward, the Mass served as a meaningful reminder of our shared mission and values.

Throughout the liturgy, we reflected on the core principles that guide our school—freedom, sincerity, justice, joy, and above all, the love of God. These values, lived out by generations of Loretto women, continue to shape the young women in our care today. We especially welcomed our new students, staff, and families who joined the Loretto community for the first time.

The Eucharistic celebration was a powerful way to ask God’s blessing for the year ahead. We prayed for the grace to grow in faith, to live authentically, and to walk in the light of Christ as true Loretto women "All for the Greater glory of God".

A special thank you to Father Gustavo from St. Nicholas of Bari Parish for his beautiful words. As we look forward to the rest of the school year, we carry the spirit of this Mass in our hearts, renewed in our mission and inspired to be a light to others.
