St Mary MacKillop College invites members of the wider community to join us at our Opening Mass, which will be held at the Tuggeranong Southern Cross Stadium from 9.30am on 10 March 2016.
The Opening Mass, which will be celebrated by Fr Luke Verrell, will also include a celebration of the Sesquicentenary of the Sisters of St Joseph (their 150th anniversary).
The Stadium is located on the corner of Athllon Drive and Cowlishaw Street, Greenway.
Light refreshments for our guests will follow the Mass.
Students will be required to make their own way to the venue and assemble in the stadium by 9.00am. ACTION and QCity buses will transport students who catch school buses to Tuggeranong Interchange. Staff will be on duty at the bus interchance and enroute to the stadium to assist students. Senior students who drive to the Mass may not transport other students back to the College after the Mass.
Students will be bussed back to school from the venue after Mass.
St Mary of the Cross MacKillop made the statement: “We are but travellers here, so while we are here we should do as much good as we can and live in peace with each other.”
With this in mind, the College respectfully acknowledges the Ngunnawal people who are the Traditional Custodians and First People of the land on which we gather each day. The College also pays its respects to the Elders past, present and emerging, and any other Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples living and working in the MacKillop community.
