Twenty five years ago, the Parishes of Holy Trinity, Curtin, and Sts Peter and Paul, Garran amalgamated to create the Transfiguration Parish, North Woden. On Tuesday, 6 August, students and staff from both primary schools gathered together to celebrate 25 years united as one community.

Mass was led by Monsignor John Woods, with many families and parishioners in attendance. Each school created a banner reflecting their understanding of the Transfiguration and these hung in the church for the duration of the mass.

After mass, students and staff enjoyed cake, in commemoration of the special occasion.

Acting Religious Education Coordinator, Stephanie Burns reflected on the success of the special occasion.

“It was brilliant to see students from both schools getting to know each other and engaging in activities centred around the 25th anniversary of the amalgamation,” she said.

“The Feast Day of Transfiguration is such a memorable celebration for our schools and Parish.”
