St Mary MacKillop Feast Day

The Feast Day of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, Australia's first saint, falls on 8th August.

“Never see a need without doing something about it.”

This quote captures the spirit of Mary MacKillop's life of compassionate action and service to others. May she continue to inspire us in our daily lives.

Loving God,

We thank you for the example of Mary MacKillop who,

in her living of the Gospel witnessed to the human dignity of each person.

She faced life’s challenges with faith and courage.

We pray through her intercession for our needs.

May her holiness inspire us to be people of hope, love and forgiveness.

We make this prayer through Jesus the Lord.

Amen.

Prayer from Mary MacKillop Place.

Father’s Day Mass

We warmly invite all fathers, grandfathers and father figures in our school community to join us for our Father’s Day Mass on Thursday 10th September at 9:30am in the school hall.

Following the liturgy, guests are invited to stay for a light morning tea. We look forward to celebrating together and hope to see many of our fathers, grandfathers and father figures there.
