Celebrating Our Faith
LIFE AND LEGACY OF MARY MACKILLOP
How fitting it is to celebrate Education Week at the same time we celebrate the faith, life and legacy of Mary MacKillop. As the founder of the Order of St Joseph's, Mary MacKillop is revered for her strength in faith and commitment to service those in need of an education.
Founded by the legacy of the Sisters of Saint Joseph’s, Lochinvar in 1913, St Joseph’s Primary School, Port Macquarie, is inspired by the Josephite spirit everyday; a spirit that lives on through the work of our dedicated staff.
Since 1913, St Joseph’s has a proud history of serving and educating students in Port macquarie.
Thank you to the students of 4 Green and Mrs Howard for our Monday Prayer that celebrated the life and legacy of St Mary, of the Cross, MacKillop.
Mary, of the Cross, MacKillop pray for us….
For every student past and present,
For their families,
And the Staff who commit to their Catholic education in the spirit of the Sisters of St Joseph's.
Amen
