The Eucharist is a deeply significant sacrament for Catholics, representing a gift from God that enables us to strengthen our relationship with Him. At Oaklands, the celebration of Mass unites the entire school community in reverence and contemplation. However, for our new Year 7 students, participating in these whole school Masses with over 1300 students may be an entirely novel experience.
To help our new Year 7 students with this, they will have the opportunity to partake in a tutor group Mass in the Chapel during their first term at Oaklands. We are fortunate to have clergy members who lead and guide us through the Mass, providing a comprehensive explanation of each part and its significance, offering our new students a profound understanding of this sacred sacrament.
Before the Mass, each tutor group will receive a lesson from our Chaplains in the Chapel, who will explore each component of the Mass and address any queries. Furthermore, students are encouraged to actively engage in the celebration by participating in activities such as reading the liturgy of the word, honing their musical talents for the ministry, or learning the duties of altar serving.
