Compassion

The 2024 St Mary’s school year began beautifully with our staff discussing our school theme of ‘Love each other as I have loved you’ John 15:12. This focus started great conversations on how we can show compassion in our relationships. This flowed beautifully into how we can love each other and share that with our students at St Mary’s. We look forward to a year full of compassion toward one another.

A Prayer for the beginning of the school year

Father, 

Lord Jesus, we ask for Your help as we begin this new school year. 

Allow us to experience Your presence in the many blessings You put before us. 

Open our eyes to the new challenges and exciting opportunities that this new school year brings. 

Open our heart and mind to new friends and new teachers. 

Give us a generous spirit to be enthusiastic with our studies and courage to accept new opportunities. 

Help us to be attentive to one another and let us experience Your presence in our new friends. 

Jesus, inspire us to do our best this year! 

Amen.

Mass

Our Opening Mass for 2024 will be this Thursday the 8th of February at 12pm.
