Last Friday night, our students swapped comfort for cardboard to support St Vincent de Paul.
Through our Winter Sleepout and Winter Appeal, we have raised both funds and awareness for those doing it tough this winter. A heartfelt thank you to all of our families for your incredible generosity and support. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of others. 💙❄️

The canonisation of Saint Carlo Acutis, our first 21st-century saint, took place in St Peter’s Square on 7 September 2025.
Please join Mrs Favotto on Thursday, 25 June, from 5:30pm at St Mary’s Cathedral to celebrate Mass with Archbishop Anthony Fisher and to view a relic of Saint Carlo Acutis. Sydney is privileged to welcome this relic from Assisi before it travels throughout the dioceses of Australia.
Following Mass, there will be an opportunity for catechesis and veneration of the relic. We warmly invite you to join us for this rare and special occasion. 🤍

Congratulations to our Speak St Mary’s finalists and winners! We are so proud of your confidence, preparation and outstanding public speaking skills. Well done!! ⭐️
