We honour Mary as a Spirit-filled person who listened to God speaking to her. Mary showed the fruits of the Spirit in the way she lived her life. Mary can inspire us and show us how to be patient, kind, joyful and hope-filled people so that we can live out Jesus’ message.

Each one of you is precious to God. We know this because God calls us God’s children, and gives us the gifts of the Holy Spirit to shine our light in the world. What a wonderful light each child brings to our school community!
