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.

 Sacrament of First Eucharist

Congratulations to the children who made their first Eucharist on the weekend of 23rd / 24th November.  They were all beautifully presented and participated in the special ceremonies conducted by Monsignor Peter.

Thank you to all the people who assisted to make the ceremony of First Eucharist so memorable for our students.

Making a Scene at Christmas 

Last week our students were treated to a unique experience of visiting  "Making a Scene at Christmas' display in the Marian centre.   It is a collection of over 500 nativity cribs and other items, some dating back to the lifetime of Jesus.  A large selection of the items were on display.   Our students had the opportunity to be involved in a guided tour, workshop about Advent and the Christmas story and other related activities.  Father Andrew, Fiona and Kay have personally collected all the items and loved sharing the stories about the Nativity Scenes that they have collected from all around the world.

                           Celebrating our Founder's Day

Children gathered in the Marian Centre on Monday 2nd December  to reflect on our School’s history and to celebrate the legacy of  Catherine McAuley and the Sisters of Mercy.

Children participated in a liturgy highlighting the great work of the Mercy sisters who founded our school and who continue to work in schools, hospitals and other settings around the world helping people in need.

We also heard about our four House Teams and why they are named McAuley, Archer, Mercy and Ryan.
