The Gift of Mercy...

On Friday 31st January staff participated in a retreat day at the Queensland College of Wine and Tourism. The day was facilitated by Sr Margaret Madden, who formerly taught at St Joseph’s School in the early 80's.

Following a busy week of meetings and preparation, staff enjoyed an opportunity to reflect, discuss and consider the Mercy values and how these are acknowledged in our school, both by ourselves and our students. Our day concluded with group discussion and sharing around ways in which our Mercy values can continue to be the lived experience of our community. 

“Mercy is more than Charity – for it not only bestows benefits, but it receives and pardons again and again – even the ungrateful”. (Catherine McAuley)
