Each school day begins with an invitation to pray the Rosary in the College Chapel. After the Rosary we are blessed to offer daily Mass at 8:10am, celebrated by our Oblate priests. While each day of the week is ‘hosted’ by a different year level who prepare prayers and reading, the entire community is welcome, including visiting parents. Our students then begin their formal school day with prayer in Homeroom. We pray, asking for God’s blessings for ourselves, for all those in need and for the wider world.
“I have come that you may have life and have it to the full.”
John 10:10

Prayer and liturgy are at the heart of life at Mazenod College, which aims to develop a relationship with the person of Jesus Christ. Under the direction of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, our liturgical life is based on the charism of St Eugene de Mazenod, and the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary Immaculate. The regularity of Mass and prayer normalises the expression of faith for the young men at the College, breaking down the barriers to lifelong faith.

Daily Mass
Whole School Masses
Our Inaugural Mass at St Patrick’s Cathedral heralds the commencement of the academic year. During this Mass, the choir leads us as we pray for God’s blessings upon our school year and upon the College community. We pledge our commitment to our charism, to the Oblates of Mary Immaculate and to Catholic Education. Whole school Masses are also held in May, in honour of our founder, and in August for the feast of the Assumption of Our Lady.
Opportunities to embrace the fullness of Catholic life
Our Prayers and Liturgies also include the opportunity to experience Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, the celebration of saints’ days, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. In November, Masses are dedicated to the repose of the souls of our old boys, and for loved ones in our community. The wider College community joins us as we celebrate Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and our Parents/Carers and Sons Evening. Apart from our Retreats and Reflection Days for Year 7 to 12, all our Outdoor Education camps include the celebration of the Eucharist as part of these experiences.
