St Dominic’s Catholic School for Girls celebrated its centenary with a special mass on August 4.
The mass was led by Archbishop Emeritus William Slattery. He was assisted by Father Graham, Father Sandile, Father Thomas, Father Michael and Deacon Greg.Neville Smith, a music teacher at St Dominic’s, led the congregation in singing Psalm 96. Deacon Greg read from Luke’s Gospel . Thereafter His Grace, Archbishop Slattery, delivered a homily that reflected on the history and achievements of the school over the last one hundred years.
Some teachers and past pupils also joined the choir. Pauline Penny prepared the music items and invited guest musicians to join in the celebration. During the Mass, the marimbas were played to enhance the musical element. Included in the procession were the names of only a few of the people who attended the school. Behind the 1950s banner, Maurice Daneman joined the procession. He attended St Dominic’s from Grade One to Standard One, after which he attended school at CBC. This was the case for many years until CBC started to admit boys in Grade One during the 1970s.
Members of the choir, in a procession, sang the gospel up to the altar. Prayers of intercession, prepared by the current pupils, were offered up by candidates for confirmation. The pupils preparing to receive their first holy communion delivered the gifts for the offertory to the altar. Even the youngest of the pupils contributed.
