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.

Season of Creation

The Season of Creation began on September 1st, which was the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. This season ends on October 4th, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of ecology beloved by many Christian denominations.

As Pope Francis wrote in Laudato Si’: 

“‘Everyone’s talents and involvement are needed to redress the damage caused by human abuse of God’s creation’. All of us can cooperate as instruments of God for the care of creation, each according to his or her own culture, experience, involvements and talents.” (LS 14).

This time of prayer, recognition of the beauty of creation, celebration and renewal reminds us that we are one little speck in the evolving universe. At the centre of this reality is God’s love that is reflected in how we interact with each other and with creation.
