Entrance Ceremony with Benediction 2022入学式・聖体賛美式 ４月８日

On April 8th, St Viator School held the Entrance Ceremonies, one in the morning for the new senior high school students and the other in the afternoon for the very newcomers.
4月8日に洛星で入学式がありました。午前中は高校入学式、午後は中学入学式です。

Before the Entrance Ceremonies, we have Benediction, and this time Fr William, the school chaplain of St Viator Rakusei High School, celebrated the Benediction Ceremony twice. He prepared two homilies, a little difficult one for the senior high school student and an easy one for the newcomers, most of whom had no Catholic experience before this.
洛星では、入学式に先立って聖体賛美式を行います。洛星のチャプレンのウィリアム神父様が司式してくださいました。高校生と中学生ではカトリック体験に大きな差があるので、すすめの言葉も2つ作って下さいました。

The prayer of the new students is normally said by all the new students together, but because of Covid, we avoided the risk of droplet infection and had only the representative of the students said it.
新入生の祈りの言葉は、例年なら新入生全員で唱えますが、新型コロナ感染防止のため、総代が一人で唱えました。

We hope they will have good school lives here at St Viator High School.
楽しい学校生活を送ってもらいたいものです。

Mr Oshima, our associate member, assisted Fr William. And this was the first big Christian event for another associate member Mr Kimura, who is the head of the Religion Department from this school year. Mr Nishio, who is also our associate member, assisted Fr William, because he is now the Head of the teachers of the newcomers. Our youngest associate member, Ms Hashimoto, played the organ.
