โœ Processional Cross โœ The Christian cross represents the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the centrality of redemption. It is a powerful reminder that faith is not meant to divide but to bring people together through dialogue, understanding, and love. Pope Francis speaks of the Church as a place of encounter, where different voices are heard and respected. True dialogue, he teaches, does not mean compromising oneโ€™s beliefs but rather opening oneโ€™s heart to others in a spirit of fraternity. This vision calls for a Church that reaches out, embraces diversity, and fosters unity. In Catholic tradition, the cross stands at the heart of the Christian message, symbolising Christโ€™s sacrifice, resurrection, and the promise of new life. The new processional cross is a contemporary, stylised representation of this timeless Christian symbol. Its strong metallic structure reflects the steadfastness of the cross as the foundation of salvation, while the flowing ribbon-like element softens its form, evoking movement, welcome, and embrace. More than a reminder of suffering, this design transforms the cross into a sign of openness, inclusion, and the universal reach of Godโ€™s love. The intertwining form suggests that Christianity is not rigid or exclusive but rather a living faith that embraces allโ€”just as Jesus did. From a Marist perspective, the flowing element wrapped around the cross evokes Maryโ€™s presenceโ€”gentle, guiding, and always leading towards Christ. Just as she stood faithfully at the foot of the cross, offering strength and love, this design reflects her role as a mother who gathers all into Godโ€™s embrace. Maryโ€™s humility and openness inspire the Marist way of life, which emphasises simplicity, presence, and a deep sense of family spirit. Ultimately, this cross is more than just an objectโ€”it is a living symbol of faith, Maryโ€™s guiding presence, and the Churchโ€™s mission of dialogue. It reminds us that through Christ, all are welcomed, and through Mary, we are led with compassion toward one another. This cross stands as a testament to faith, unity, and the call to love all people in the spirit of Christ.

โœ๏ธ Happy St Marcellin Champagnat Day โœ๏ธ we wish all the global Marist community a blessed Feast of St Marcellin. โœ๏ธ The Marist Heart: A Living Tradition of Faith and Community. At the Marist Mother House in France, St Marcellin Champagnat began a tradition of placing the names of his Brothers in a heart locket and entrusting them to Mary. Inspired by this, St Patrickโ€™s Marist College ceremonially places the names of all students and staff in a heart each year, blessed at the Commencement Mass and carried at College events. Graduating studentsโ€™ names are later moved to a dedicated heart, marking their journey. This tradition began during the Great Jubilee and continues in the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope. At the centre of our College is the Marist Heart artworkโ€”created by Roger Apteโ€”featuring a large metallic heart with a golden flame symbolising the Sacred Heart of Jesus, surrounded by smaller hearts representing our Marist community. It stands as a living reminder that tradition is not about preserving the past, but keeping the fire of faith alive through love, humility, and service. As Pope Francis said: โ€œTradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.โ€ ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’› #stpatricksmaristcollegedundas #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #dundas #family #presence #simplicity #loveofwork #inthewayofmary #champagnatday #champagnatday2025 #marcellin #marcellinchampagnatfeastday #marcellinchampagnatprayforus #champagnatglobal #cspd2025 #marist_formation
