Welcome back to the final term of the year. I can’t believe that we are at this point already! Have you ever noticed how long our school’s name is? Not many Catholic schools include the word “Community” in their name. Have you ever wondered why we have it there? The word “Community” is actually really important. The “com” is a Latin prefix that means “together” or “with”. It combines with the Latin word “manus” which means “gift” or “service” to create the Latin phrase “communitas” which literally translates as “to give among each other”. Now ask yourself what the meaning of “Communion” is, and maybe think about it the next time you go to Holy Communion. You will see they are closely linked, and now you know why our name is so long!
