NEW COLLEGE PRAYER | Last week at the College Assembly, we launched the new College prayer: A Prayer for St Mary Star of the Sea. The prayer was beautifully composed by Sister Elizabeth Brennan sgs to mark our 150th year in 2023; a prayer that may lead future communities of the College through the next 150 years. Sr Elizabeth attended our assembly and spoke beautifully to the girls about the words and experiences as a Good Samaritan Sister that inspired her writing. It is a beautiful prayer that captures the essence of our community, our College by the sea and our Good Samaritan and Benedictine heritage.
Encircle us, O God,
and our St Mary’s community,
with oceans of care and goodness.
May we work towards a community
where the poor have justice,
where every sorrow finds compassion,
where strangers are welcomed,
where hospitality is generous,
where all of creation is reverenced,
and where God is praised.
Encircle us,
embrace us,
with Mary Star of the Sea
and with Christ our Lord who lives with you for ever and ever.
Amen.
Join us next year at our 150th Celebration Mass on Wednesday, 15 February to be held in the Win Entertainment Centre, Wollongong. Commenecing at 5pm. TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE https://www.ticketmaster.com.au/event/13005D5979EA125E
