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.

“Along the Track” article.
The latest edition of “Along the Track” entitled “Learning by Waiting” is attached to today’s newsletter.
Not long before Christmas last year I was in a waiting room where a mother of three children was paying the bill. The little ones were impatient and were running amuck. In frustration she said to them: “OK, there will be no advent calendar tonight!”. The response was immediate!
Kind regards,
