Boys Rugby Gala Day Truimph

With grey skies predicted all week, the boys were blessed with a fine and sunny day to showcase their rugby league skills.

OLQP had 5 teams represent the school. All the boys played extemely well and showed great sportsmanship. The under 9's did extemely well and will now progress to the next stage of the competition on Wednesday 29th June, where they will be playing for the chance to represent the Parramatta district.

The boys drew Castle Hill and Guildford in the first two rounds of the competition, and in both games they demonstrated some real team work and were rewarded with 20-0 wins in both games. The final game of the day came down to OLQP v Merrylands – both teams were undefeated at this stage, with the winning team to progress to the next round of competition.

Both teams were starting to get tired after a long day in the sun, but it was the boys from OLQP who demonstrated commitment and endurance in both defence and attack, while taking every opportunity to put points on the score board.

ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY Today we celebrate the Feast Day of the Assumption of Our Lady when according to our faith, the Holy Mother, “having completed her course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory”. The Assumption signals the end of Mary’s earthly life and marks her return to heaven to be reunited with Jesus. While the bodies of both Jesus and Mary are now in heaven, there is a difference between the Assumption and the Resurrection. Where Jesus arose from the tomb and ascended into heaven by his own power, Mary’s body was taken up to heaven by the power of her Son. Hail Mary Mother of God. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
