St Mary's Prays
On Thursday evening a group of Year 5/6 students and their parents met in the Parish Centre with Father Dominic, Mrs McGee and Mrs Cuthbertson to begin their preparation for Confirmation.
Feast Day of St. Mary MacKillop
St Mary MacKillop was the first Australian beatified by the church and the first Australian to be recognized as one of its saints.
St Mary MacKillop had a saying: ‘Never see a need without doing something about it’.
On August 8th we honour St Mary MacKillop who embodied characteristics that typify the best of the Australian spirit. There is that sense of "going in to bat" for the battlers of life, to give a helping hand to the needy irrespective of colour, culture or creed and a sense of a "fair go for everyone".
A prayer to St Mary MacKillop
Mary, your dream in life was to live your love for God in a real way.
Help us to bring God’s love alive in our daily lives.
Amen
