Prayer

“If I could be of service in saving souls in any part of the globe, I would gladly do all in my power.” 

Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Virgin Mary you “co-operated through free faith and obedience in human salvation”. You uttered your yes “in the name of all human nature”.

By your obedience you became the new Eve, mother of the living.

The Feast of the Presentation of Mary in the Temple, celebrated on November 21st, is the congregational feast day for the Presentation Sisters, officially known as the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (PBVM). The feast connects with the sisters' charism by reminding them of Mary's joyful, whole-hearted presentation of herself to God, inspiring them to live out a similar commitment to service and to carry on their founder Nano Nagle's mission. For the sisters, the feast is a time to contemplate Mary's life and to renew their own dedication to serving God and others. 

We are getting ready this week to take a group of students to the Australian Catholic Youth Festival in Melbourne. It is an exciting opportunity to share time with the five catholic secondary schools in the diocese and unite as Pilgrims of Hope on this journey. Please keep us in your prayers.
