On Palm Sunday, as the Church began the celebrations of Holy Week, Year 7 students from Kolbe Catholic College and the Star of the Sea Primary School Choir celebrated with the parishioners of Our Lady of Lourdes in Rockingham.

The celebrations commenced on the lawns outside the church with the blessing of the palms.

While the SOS choir sang several hymns, assistant priest Fr George James led the people into the church.

Kolbe College students then took part in the readings and assisted Fr George with reading the Gospel, which recalls Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem and his journey to the Cross.

Star of the Sea students led the congregation in song during the Mass.
