CELEBRATING NATIONAL RECONCILIATION WEEK

National Sorry Day 2024 falls this year on Sunday, 26 May and is a day when we pause to remember the Stolen Generations of Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. 

It leads us into the Week of Prayer for Reconciliation and National Reconciliation Week which is held each year between 27 May and 3 June.

This year's theme 'Now more than ever' is a reminder to all of us that no matter what, the fight for justice and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will —and must —continue. 

A special prayer was held at the morning assembly this week in recognition of this important week for our country.

FEAST OF MARY, HELP OF CHRISTIANS- 24 MAY

Last Friday, we celebrated the Feast of Mary, Help of Christians through a special prayer. She is the patron of our country, Australia. We celebrate the many gifts God has given us here in Australia – one people from many parts of our world, the beauty of our country, the freedom and peace that we are so lucky to enjoy. 

We look to Mary for her help, her protection and her guidance. We try to follow her example of love and strength in everything we do.

Mary, The Mother of God, is given many titles or names such as: 

Mary, first among disciples

Mary, Mother for all people

Mary, woman of faith

Mary, Queen of Peace

These are just some of her titles, but today, we remember her as Mary, Help of Christians.

Almighty God our Father,

You placed the love of Mary Help of Christians 

in the hearts of those who first brought the Catholic faith to Australia. 

We ask, that with Mary’s help,  

our leaders can be wise and that we can all be people of truth and goodness. 

Under Mary’s protection, may Australia be filled with harmony, justice and peace.

Amen.
