Dean of Mission – Marg Marriott

Our Concluding Mass for the year was a fitting tribute to the story we shared throughout 2024 and was an opportunity to wish Year 10 all the very best as they embark of their senior studies. We were so proud to present the local Cronulla St Vincent De Paul representatives, John and Imelda O’Neil with a donation of over $1100 towards their Christmas Appeal. The funds will be used to purchase gift cards for local families in need. 

The Literacy Buddies activity at St Aloysius Primary was a wonderful experience for our girls to create a storybook conveying the true meaning of Christmas and then share it with their young friends in Year 1 and Kindergarten. The students then collaborated with their group of little ones to create their own story book, with our girls writing and then the young ones completing the illustrations. 

Our Mercy Excellence Program has seen thousands of hours of work contributed by our students. Initially designed for Senior Students, who receive a pin for each Mercy Value they complete, there were a number of junior school students who also were awarded, bronze silver and gold pins to wear on their uniform. The generosity of our community is remarkable.

Danielle Hayes from Mercy Works addressed our final assembly and received our donation of over $3600 towards local indigenous projects. She was able to update us on where the money from Mercy Day will be spent in supporting local initiatives in Sydney. 

Have a blessed and safe Christmas and a refreshing holiday. It has been my honour to serve this community as the Dean of Mission and I will continue to hold you all in my heart and prayers. 

Marg Marriott, Dean of Mission
