School students from across Sydney converged on St Mary’s Cathedral
last week to celebrate Mass with their archbishop, Archbishop George Pell,
for the feast of Our Lady Help of Christians.
The 2000 pupils, representing each Catholic primary school in the Sydney
archdiocese, processed solemnly into the cathedral with their school banners.
They paused for a minute’s silence at 11am in tribute to the longest-surviving
Gallipoli veteran, Alec Campbell, who was being farewelled in a State
funeral in Hobart.
