Traditionally, on the Wednesday before Mercy Day a small group of staff, students, Mercy Sisters and Old Collegians visit the Lilydale Cemetery to pay respects to the Mercy Sisters buried there and to remember all who have gone before us.
This year, on Wednesday 14 September, student representatives from Years 7-11 helped to lead a beautiful liturgy of thanksgiving and remembrance. It was wonderful to have a number of Mercy Sisters with us and to reflect on the great legacy left by Catherine McAuley. It also reminded us of the privilege and responsibility we have to continue the story. Before we left the cemetery, camellias were placed on each of the graves as a mark of respect and gratitude.
