Mercy Day Celebrations

25.09.23

Mercy Day is the anniversary of the opening of the House of Mercy in 1827, by Catherine McAuley, for homeless women and children.  They were offered a home, care and an education.

One of the fundraising activities for Mercy Works in Australia, was the stalls by Year 5 and 6 in the Plaza and on Mawson Oval. Their creativity was amazing.  Thank you to our school community for your generous support and donations. Over $5,600 was raised.

We were delighted to have Sr Marie, Sr Mary, St Catherine and Mercy Associate Jenny as our special guests for our whole school mass.  Our thanks to our school chaplain, Mercy Associate Emmy.
