This is beautifully written Michael and makes me feel like I was there! I love that everyone wore their Timor Leste stoles and the addition of the banana plants. Well done on planning yet another wonderful St Ignatius feast celebration! We will plan well in advance next year so we can join you.

Hi Fr Chris,
I wish you well in my prayers. You arrived blessed in this life and worked tirelessly sharing your gift. I was so lucky to have been of St C’s flock.

In reply to Barry.

Good to hear from you, Barry. Apologies for the extended time to reply. We were looking for information like this last year when the Archdiocese was marking the 200 years of Education in Australia.
I will share a link to that event so you can reminisce.
There is no active association of former students I’m afraid.
If you would like to send the photo to us indicating you and your brother, we’d value it to our archives.

Comment on St Canice’s Primary School by Barry

Myself and my younger brother were students at St Canice’s in Elizabeth Bay during 1950 and 1951. My brother, now deceased, and I have been unable to recall the names of any of our teachers while at the school. What I do have retained over the years is a photograph taken of a group of 18 boys and 9 girls on the occasion of their First Communion day, taken on the front steps of St Canice’s church. Sitting in front of the children was Monsignor Meaney who was, I believe, the parish priest at the time. My brother and I are pictured in this group having just taken our first Holy Communion with the other children. I would be happy to forward the photograph to anyone who has an interest in the school, perhaps having been a former student or teacher. I was also curious as to whether there was an active association of former students and teachers and whether any reunions have been held.

I now reside in one of Sydney’s northern suburbs and after having been trained as a singer of music genres ranging from contemporary pop to opera, now put the voice to good use as a chorister and soloist at my local Catholic church.

Sue,
New eyes in 2023 come with another vision. Attendance Numbers are falling and finances require review . . . I hope I’m here in another six years to see . . .
