The students entered into the veneration time really prayerfully in the beauty of the school grounds, high up of the cliff overlooking the beach.
The next school the Cross & Icon went to was St Augustine’s, Brookvale, where the lively students greeted the symbols like celebrities, forming a guard of honour all the way up the school driveway. It was really powerful to hear three students share from their own experiences of faith as a witness to the other students gathered around the Cross today.
The Cross & Icon received a warm reception from the Stella Maris College students from Manly, where the symbols were a welcome addition to the school sports day. It was great to have the Cross come to the students in such a fun and energetic setting and was lovely to see the students dressed in their house colours coming to venerate the Cross & Icon, a reminder that Jesus is just as present with us when we are having fun as when we are praying in a church!
The last schools visit for the day was at Mater Maria, Warriewood, where the students greeted the Cross & Icon with a liturgy.




Thanks to all the cool young people the Cross & Icon got to hang out with today - especially those who slogged it up to the lighthouse!
