Director of Mission

Mercy Week is a time of reflection, when we focus on the values synonymous with Catherine McAuley, founder of the Sisters of Mercy, our Mercedes College founders.

Through student-led activities across the week, our community supported one another to raise funds for national charity Mercy Works, and the week concluded with a reverent Mercy Day Mass at St Francis Xavier Cathedral.

The coming holiday period marks many important events across a range of religions, the heart of which all offer time for reflection and opportunities to connect or reconnect with family, and encourage kindness and compassion towards all. ’’

I encourage you to celebrate this time of rest with your loved ones, and look forward to welcoming you back in 2023, when we’ll be journeying together with Mutual Respect. Therese Wilson Director of Mission
