Mercy Day & NAIDOC Celebrations
As the official opening date of MSB (the feast-day of Our Lady of Mercy) is during the school holidays, centenary celebrations for the current boarders, day-students and staff will be joined with our annual NAIDOC celebrations which happen towards the end of Term 3 each year. In so many ways, the original mission of the Sisters of Mercy would have been perfectly at home with the goals of NAIDOC and so it is a great way to celebrate both the Mercy spirituality and MSB's current work supporting education for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.Venue: College Chapel and Bottom Oval
Time: 9:00am

Centenary Thanksgiving Mass
For the Sisters of Mercy and for many of our past and current students and staff, the Eucharist (Mass) is central to their spiritual nourishment which in turn nourishes their work at MSB. As we celebrate 100 years of Mercy ministry at MSB we take a moment to gather for a special thanksgiving Mass for the gift of MSB and for all those who have been part of its story over the decades.Venue: College Chapel

Centenary Labyrinth - Official Opening
Since ancient times, labyrinths have been used for prayer, reflection and meditation in a number of spiritual traditions. Christianity also adopted labyrinths for certain prayer and meditation exercises. Prayer with labyrinths also holds a place in the Religious Education curriculum. We are building a large (15m x 15m) labyrinth in a peaceful location adjacent to the Sisters' cemetery and with superb views across the Herberton valley. Past and current students/staff may have their names immortalised in our Centenary Labyrinth buy purchasing a personalised paver which will then be placed in the labyrinth. To find out more, click here or visit the Centenary Shop to purchase.25 Sep 2021
