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.

Words matter. How we speak, how we describe things matters. Words enable us to connect with others, they help us share our thoughts and feelings, our ideas and dreams. They help us to describe how we feel, what is important to us, what we believe. The meaning and importance we give to things can depend upon the words we choose to describe them. They help us describe how we see what is real.
Kind regards,
