Principal Message
Dear Parents and Carers
Next Tuesday, 24 May, we will gather as a school community to celebrate the Solemnity of Our Lady Help of Christians. The whole school will attend Mass at 9 am. We look forward to joining our families and parish community for this celebration. The early Church in Australia had a special reason for turning to Mary. In those early and mostly priestless days, it was primarily the Rosary that kept the faith alive. This is an important Feast in our country because Our Lady, under the title "Help of Christians", is a spiritual Patron of Australia, along with St. Mary of the Cross MacKillop.
This month, we celebrated 'mothers', thanked them for their dedication, and recognised their importance to our families. We have learnt about and remembered Mary, the Mother of God, in special ways. Our classes have read about Mary in Scripture, prayed the Rosary, engaged in prayers and reflected on Mary in written and art forms.
As we near the end of May, the month of Mary, we are reminded that Mary is a perfect Mother—she comforts us, helps us, and gives us the perfect model of love, understanding and compassion.
Prayer to Mary, Help of Christians
Loving God, you place deep in our hearts the love of Mary, Help of Christians.
Through her prayers grant wisdom to our leaders and integrity to our citizens.
Under her protection, may Australia be granted harmony, justice and peace.
We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
Mrs Vicky Davidson
