Saint: St Teresa
St Teresa was born in France in 1873. She was only acknowledged after her death when her diary, “The Story of a Soul” was published. This book showed her spiritual greatness and the suffering she had endured. Because she prayed for missioners she has been named the Patroness of the Missions. She was declared a Doctor of the Church (Teacher) in 1997.

Mercy, Wisdom
St Mary's we are.
Life, love and compassion
Together we do stand
with devotion and conviction
Strong our traditions last
Our Blessed Mother guides our hearts
So that we remember to share God's love
Mercy is not bleak
Here it protects
Where warmth of friendships grow.
Mercy Wisdom
St Mary's we are.....
We stand and always praise Thy name
To heaven lend our hearts and hands.
Wisdom from within,
Pride and loyalty
As one eternally.
Mercy, Wisdom
St Mary's we are....
