Saint Ignatius College Geelong
At the beginning of the school year, celebrations of the Eucharist for the separate levels [7&8; 9&10; 11&12] are a major liturgical function for our college community. Priests of the deanery and Jesuits are the celebrants. Students have various active roles as well as providing choir and orchestra.
There is a variety of liturgical experiences that occur on a regular basis throughout the school year. The most significant of these is whole school celebration of the feast-day of Saint Ignatius.
Class prayer takes place each morning in homerooms.
The Liturgical Year of the Church is an integral part of the Religious Education Program and seasonal (Lent, Easter, Pentecost, Advent, Christmas) paraliturgies are incorporated into this.
Communal staff prayer takes place prior to morning briefing sessions and staff meetings. All attend the Geelong Deanery Mass for school staffs at the beginning of the school year and conclude the year with an Advent celebration of the Eucharist in our local parish church of St Thomas.
