End of the 2025 School Year Prayer

God of wisdom, 

As we come to the end of this school year, we voice our gratitude for the good things you have done in us, and we praise you for all who have shared in the work of this school.

We thank you for all the gifts you have given us throughout this school year. 

We ask that our time with family and friends during this Christmas season be filled with love, happiness and comfort for all your peoples around the world.

We ask that you bless them in your love and give them peace.

We praise you, God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord,                                                                           who lives and reigns forever and ever.

Amen.

Have a Merry and Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year.

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary - 8th December

The Feast of the Conception of Mary Immaculate invites us to pause and reflect on God’s grace at work from the very beginning of Mary’s life. 

This celebration honours the belief that Mary, chosen to be the mother of Jesus, was preserved from original sin so she could freely and fully say “yes” to God’s call. 

This feast day is a special significance for our community, as it is the namesake of our parish, as we belong to the Parish of Ascot Vale, St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception. 

This connection invites us to continue living with the same openness, trust, and willingness to let God’s love shape our lives, just as Mary did.
