This year marks the 10th Anniversary of Mary’s canonisation. How blessed are we to have such a strong connection to Australia’s only saint? How blessed are our children to have such a wonderful Australian example of faith and devotion to God? I know for myself when I was learning about the saints as a child, those wonderful people seemed to come from a land and time that was so far away it was difficult to relate to.

As we begin our celebrations this week as a school, our Christ-Centred Community will be learning more about Mary, praying with Mary and striving to be more like Mary. We look forward to sharing our journey with you.
