RELIGIOUS EDUCATION UPDATE
Catherine McAuley Founder Day acknowledgement this Friday, 16th September
This Friday, all students in the McAuley Colour House (blue) are invited to wear a blue accessory with their Sports uniform to acknowledge Catherine McAuley. Catherine McAuley was an Irish Catholic Sister who founded the Sisters of Mercy in 1831. We will commemorate all of the wonderful works of the Sisters of Mercy that was founded by Catherine McAuley, offering her service to the poor and oppressed. Please see a link with information about Catherine McAuley that you might like to share with your children.
We would normally acknowledge Catherine McAuley on Mercy Day, September 24th. However, our special Book Week pyjama day falls on Mercy Day this year.





Accessories might include a blue ribbon, a blue hat, blue socks/shoes- No coloured hair spray please. This will be a special day for students in the McAuley Blue Colour House, where they will lead their classes in Prayer and perform acts of service for the day.
