Catholic Identity
St Mary's School Mooroopna
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.

“Along the Track” article.
The latest edition of “Along the Track” entitled “Rest” is attached to today’s newsletter.
One of the earliest images of God the Bible offers is the story about God walking around the garden when the cool evening breezes were blowing, talking with those God has just created. It’s a story of contrasts, firstly about an all-powerful God who can create out of nothing but then it is a story about a God who enjoys company, who stops to rest and wander in the garden, to breathe in the damp, fragrant evening air, to delight in friendship and conversation. It’s also a story about the gift of creation and what can be done with it by the creativity of a gardener’s hands and labour and how they can take the gifts of water and soil and sunlight and use them to make a garden.
Kind regards,
Ann-Margaret Carroll
