This week our Holy Spirit Value is ‘Mercy.  The Founder of the Sisters of Mercy, The Venerable Mother Catherine McAuley, is displayed prominently on the side of the Lynch Family Hall.  She was a guiding light with her testimony of faith, holiness and hope as she ministered to the poor and disadvantaged.  Our school was joined by the Sisters of Mercy in 1971 and their charism of mercy and justice is just as important to us today.  Pope Francis said:  ‘People today…need us to bear witness to the mercy and tenderness of the Lord which warms the heart, rekindles hope, and attracts people towards the good.’  

This morning, our school community gathered for our Opening Mass.  In addition to celebrating the beginning of a new school year, we commissioned our student leaders at the end of the Mass.  A special congratulations to all our 2021 Student Leaders.  Our Year Six students have a very important role in developing school spirit as leaders and role models for the younger students.  Thank you to all our families and friends who joined us for this special occasion.

God bless,

Caroline Fuller
