Terrace Ladies Group

Past Mothers' Mass and High Tea morning

Last Sunday saw a gathering of Terrace Past Mothers for Mass in the Chapel of the Holy Family. We celebrated Mass with Father Gerard Hall. Father reminded us of how a mother is the glue of the family just like Jesus is the glue of our faith. After Mass, Mrs Jo Lemass gave the group an insight into her many years at Terrace. It just goes to show every family has its connection in their own unique way, even beyond the gates of Terrace. 

It was wonderful having some very new mothers to this extraordinary group of women and also some seasoned members. Some past mothers made this their ‘Terrace school reunion’. This collection of the generations brought a true richness to the morning.

If you know of any mothers of Old Boys of the College who are not in touch with the College, please pass on my email details: dpklcarroll@gmail.com to add them to our database for future events coming up like the ‘Long Lunch’ in September.

Care and Concern

Hospitality is an important role of the TLG, providing welcome and building community by creating opportunities to gather, meet and talk to each other. Care and Concern is a further extension and has the great privilege of reaching out to members of the Terrace Family in times of hardship and crisis; to offer comfort, strength and nurturing through the provision of meals. This lets members of our community know that they are not alone when things are tough.  Care and Concern is offered in times of grief, illness and accident, and we are blessed to have over 100 people on the list offering to provide meals at these times. Care and Concern extends beyond “the list” and the making of meals. Just as you become a member of the TLG when your son starts at Terrace, so do you become an integral part of the Care and Concern community. If you are aware of someone experiencing difficult times, reach out and offer them C&C support. If you are not sure, call Kirsten, Cathy or Chris to have a chat and discuss, or email one of the coordinators below. 

Each year ,our rowers stand, hands on each other’s shoulders and say “When you need me my Terrace brothers, I will be there for you” and in the same way we can connect and be there for families and staff at Terrace. If you wish to have your name added to the volunteer list, please contact via the same email.

FOOTBALL | RD 5 v ACGS |CANTEEN VOLUNTEER

FOOTBALL | RD 5 v ACGS |BBQ PIT VOLUNTEER

Often, we are out at Tennyson prior to our sons’ games and could use this spare time to lend a hand to help in the smooth running of both the canteen and BBQ. This Saturday, it would be good to see Years 5, 6 and 7 parents fill those volunteering spots. 

Our boys love their food after playing so any home baking would also be greatly appreciated.
