"Never see a need without doing something about it." Mary MacKillop

On Thursday this week we celebrate the Feast of  St. Mary MacKillop also called St. Mary of the Cross.

She was a wonderful woman who gave her life to God and to people in need and was declared Australia's first saint on the 17th October 2010 by Pope Benedict XVl.

There is a beautiful hymn 'There is a Quiet' written by Peter Kearney that encapsulates what Mary MacKillop's life was about. If you would like to listen to it go to peterkearney.bandcamp.com 

We will join as a community next Thursday 15th August for Mass for The Assumption of Mary at 12:00. You are all warmly invited.

The children's Mass on Sunday 1st September is Father's Day.  I am asking if you would send photos of dads, poppys, uncles, carers any men who may be special in your family to the school email address. office.stmarysbatlow@cg.cathoic.edu.au

They will be a part of a slide show for this Mass.
