Staff and students celebrated IHM’s Feast Day in the School Hall on 5 June. Reiterating the significance of Feast Day, our supervisor, Sister Lucy Chung restated students should learn the virtues of The Blessed Mother to thank God for everything they had and experienced. Representatives from the Parent-Teacher Association and student representatives presented gifts to the Supervisor, Principal and teachers to show their gratitude.
Following the celebration, all teachers and Catholic students proceeded to St Alfred’s Church to join guests, the teachers and students from IHMS and IHMK to attend the Thanksgiving Mass celebrating the IHMK’s 55th anniversary and the IHMC’s 45th anniversary. As that was such an important occasion for these two schools to celebrate this milestone, the Reverend fathers and deacons from The Order of Friars Minor (OFM), sisters of the school’s sponsoring body, supervisors and principals from schools in the district, school managers and parents came to attend the Mass. Rev. Matthias Choi, OFM, the celebrant, encouraged us to learn obedience from the Blessed Mother and be blessings to other people. Father Choi in his preaching also invited Sister Lucy, Deacon Li, IHMC’s alumnus, the serving and former principals, students of the two schools to come near to the altar. This was an act to convey the message of passing down the school mission upheld from generation to generation and to praise God for His blessings.
After the Thanksgiving Mass, a celebration lunch was held in the School Hall of IHMC for guests, principals, teachers and student leaders to unite in God’s love.
