Catholic Identity
Mercy Prayer
We pray for the Sisters of Mercy, who established our school and for the priests who have served at St. Mary’s.
It is through their vision, determination and strong faith that we enjoy the benefits of a Catholic Education here in Mooroopna.
We are proud to be a Mercy School, where the values of love and justice are taught and lived every day.
Sacramental Candidates Presented at Mass
On Sunday our Sacramental Candidates took another special step in their faith journey as they were presented at Mass and began their preparation for First Eucharist and Confirmation. We pray for these students as they begin this important chapter in their faith, and may they continue to grow in their love and understanding of God.

Intelligence isn't Artificial - Along the Track article
The latest edition of Along the Track entitled “Intelligence isn't Artificial ” is attached below. A couple of afternoons a week I pick up my two little granddaughters from school. Along with the others, they burst through the gates and run along the path. Walking is rarely an option, especially if there is a puddle in sight or if nature has left the gift of autumn leaves or wildflowers in the grass.
