Today, we were honoured to welcome back Bedian clergy for a special Mass of Thanksgiving for Vocations, celebrated on the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus as part of our 150th anniversary celebrations.
For 150 years, St Bede’s College has been a place where faith, learning and service come together. Throughout that time, the College has nurtured more than 500 vocations to the priesthood and religious life, making today’s celebration a particularly meaningful opportunity to give thanks for this remarkable legacy.
Our Chapel was filled with pupils, staff, clergy and guests, creating a wonderful sense of faith, pride and community as generations of Bedians came together to celebrate the enduring values at the heart of College life.
Following Mass, we were delighted to welcome our clergy guests to the Joseph Refectory for lunch, where they shared stories, memories and reflections on their time at St Bede’s, reconnecting with fellow Bedians and members of our school community.
As we continue to celebrate our 150th anniversary year, occasions such as these serve as a powerful reminder of the lasting impact of a Bedian education and the strength of the bonds that connect generations of former pupils.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special occasion.
Once a Bedian, always a Bedian.
