Acknowledgment of Country
We wish to acknowledge the
traditional custodians of the land on

this city and this region.
Community Prayer
Dear Mother Mary, your help is always with us. We
are inspired by the example of Catherine McAuley
and Edmund Rice. We seek, through your son
Jesus, the courage to realise the potential of the
gifts that God has given each of us.Help us grow in faith, in hope, and in love, so we
are open to the blessings of the many cultures of
the students who are part of this community. May
we respect each person’s uniqueness and affirm
their talents. In all ways we seek God’s peace.
Assured of your help, we make this prayer to
Jesus your Son.Blessed Edmund Rice - Pray for us
Venerable Catherine McAuley - Pray for us
