This weekend we celebrate the patronal feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, when the whole diocese looks to Mary, Mother of the Church.

Mary received her Son with ready obedience and an undivided heart. She pondered in her heart the mystery of Christ, and she continues to share as a mother in the joys and struggles of our families, parishes, schools and communities. Through her Immaculate Heart she draws us ever closer to Jesus.

On this feast, we confidently entrust the Diocese of Wollongong to her care. You are warmly invited to pray the diocesan prayer with us:

𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐖𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐎𝐍𝐆

Mother of the Redeemer, in this diocese dedicated to your Immaculate Heart, with great joy we call you blessed.

In order to carry out his providential plan of salvation, God the Father chose you before the creation of the world. You believed in his love and obeyed his word.

The Son of God desired you for his mother when he became man to save the human race.

You received him with ready obedience and undivided heart. The Holy Spirit loved you as his mystical spouse and he filled you with singular gifts.

You allowed yourself to be led by his hidden and powerful action.

We entrust to you the diocese which acknowledges you and invokes you under the title of your Immaculate Heart.

On earth you preceded the Church in the pilgrimage of faith: guide us as we walk in your footsteps, comfort us in our difficulties and trials, help us to reach God.

To you, Mother of the Church, we confidently entrust our bishop, our priests, deacons and religious, our families, and ourselves.

Give us the light of true wisdom, a wisdom to be found only in your Son as you told us at Cana: "Do whatever he tells us." Enable us all to meet him who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Sustain us, O Virgin Mary, on our journey of faith, and obtain for us the grace of eternal salvation.

O clement, O loving, O sweet Mother of God and our mother, Mary!

To be followed by three Hail Marys and the invocation:

Immaculate Heart of Mary,
𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐮𝐬.

(Prayer adapted from Pope John Paul II’s Prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe (1979) by Monsignor Graham Schmitzer)

I hope our students and parents can join for our fundraiser for St Vincent De Paul's Winter Appeal. Don't forget to RSVP on Compass.

Help us raise money for St Vincent De Paul Winter Appeal. There are many people struggling especially during winter. Let's work together to raise money for those who are homeless, needing food and support with living expenses.

What's on this week at St Paul's.

A great day at our Athletics carnival. Thank you to all of our staff and parent volunteers. To our students it was great to see your perseverance and sportsmanship shine throughout the day.
