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.

"Dare to Dream" - Along the Track article.

The latest edition of Along the Track entitled “Dare to Dream” is attached to today’s newsletter.

Christmas is on the horizon once again. The supermarkets are telling us that anyway! It comes around much more quickly as you get older! It is a time we look forward to, a time that makes a difference whether we are believers or not. Underneath all the pressure and the haste, Christmas is a time of kindness. Kindness is so much more than being ‘nice’. It arises from a genuine concern for others, it describes actions that are generous, helpful, and considerate, often without expecting anything in return.
