OLA Feast Day and Fiesta

The feast day of our patron, Our Lady of the Angels, is a special day in our school calendar. The day before, the school captains, sports captains and SRC representatives organised, set up and ran a variety of activities for the OLA students. Mrs Byrne would like to congratulate them on their effort and organisation. The students had a great time participating in the activities and there were lots of excited and happy children. We were blessed with great weather and a fun atmosphere.

Mass followed by a procession of Our Lady and the Blessed Sacrament and concluded with a Benediction. With the liturgical events over, Fr Warren declared the Fiesta open. The day, which was well attended by parishioners and families and school staff, concluded with spectacular fireworks. We are already looking forward to next year!
