- St Dominic’s Catholic School for Girls celebrated their centenary with a special Mass on Friday 4 August. The beautiful and meaningful mass was led by Archbishop Emeritus William Slattery. He was assisted by Fr Graham, Fr Sandile, Fr Thomas, Fr Michael and Deacon Greg. The Memorial Mass for St Dominic was celebrated. Sr Stephany Thiel read from St Paul’s letter to the Corinthians (1 Cor. 2: 1-10). Neville Smith, a music teacher at St Dominic’s led the congregation in singing Psalm 96. Deacon Greg read from Luke’s Gospel (Luke 9: 57-62). Thereafter His Grace, Archbishop Slattery, delivered a homily that reflected on the history and achievements of the school over the last one hundred years. Starting with Mother Rose Niland’s vision and determination to build a Catholic School in Boksburg, Archbishop Slattery highlighted how the school was built for the education of girls but also to develop them fully as sportswomen and culturally as well. A Catholic and Dominican ethos is threaded through all the activities at the school. Gospel values are the important pillars on which the school stands.
