We began the day with an uplifitng mass peformed by Father Michael Williams. The Mater Dei choir joyfully sang the hymns of the mass which was inspiring to our girls. We then had a delicious morning tea with the other visiting schools. Each school was in charge of a job for the middle session of the day. The St Patrick's girls were put in charge of the jumping castle in the infants playground. The Mater Dei students were so excited to see our girls and the girls assisted them with their shoes and jumping around with them in the castle. We then had a beautiful lunch of homemade soups and apple pie prepared by volunteers of Mater Dei. After lunch, we joined all of the Mater Dei students at the disco! This aspect of the day was by far the most fun and the girls loved interacting with the students and showing off their best dance moves. We all left the feast day feeling humbled, joyful and in awe of the positivity of the Mater Dei students and hard-working staff. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff and students of Mater Dei for their hospitality and generosity.
