A Gift for her
Mary’s Day: The seven students pictured here in Mercy College’s Prayer Garden in Koondoola participated in the Rosary Bouquet with their Religious Education teacher Mrs Melissa Cartner last year when they were in Year Nine. Some are preparing for a pilgrimage to World Youth Day in Sydney in 2008. They are, back row, Jason Sean, Mrs Cartner, Kevin Stewart, Roberto Catalano and, at front, Van Le, Nicole Nguyen, Kirsty Bellombra, and Bituin Balaguer. As for many years now, Western Australians will have a unique opportunity to give Mary a gift of true beauty in the days leading up to the date traditionally regarded as her PHOTO: COURTESY MERCY COLLEGE, KOONDOOLA birthday on September 8.
