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.
Christmas Eve Mass
Congratulations to Joseph La Gamba and Maddison Carrafa who participated in our special Christmas Eve mass for the nativity scene as Mary and Joseph.
Andrew Chinn Concert
On Friday 8th February, Australian religious songwriter and singer, Andrew Chinn, will be visiting our school to share his songs with our children. Andrew’s songs, such as “These Hands”, “Rainbow”, “An African Blessing” and “Rise Up!” are used in classrooms and liturgies around Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada. Parents/parishioners/friends are warmly invited to be a part of the celebration of faith and fun. There is no charge for adults. The concert will take place in the Marian Centre at 2.15pm. We look forward to seeing you there.
Opening School Mass
Our Opening School Mass will be celebrated in the Marian Centre at 9.30am on Friday 15th February.
This will be our first whole school liturgy and we will welcome our new Prep students with their Buddies.
The children in Grade Six will also be commissioned and receive their Leadership badges.
Please mark the date on your calendar and come along to celebrate the beginning of the New School Year.
