St Vinnie’s Sleepout Our recent St. Vinnie’s Sleepout was a wonderful event. It was a thought provoking evening for the 40 students and 10 staff who participated. It was a night of awareness raising and solidarity as we listened to personal stories of homelessness; we packaged items for those in need and we prayed together. An enormous thank you to Ms Josie Dilettoso and the Justice and Peace Captains for all their organisation and facilitation of the event. Well done! 

Marie Louise Hartzer As we look ahead, we will remember and celebrate the life of Marie Louise Hartzer next Wednesday, August 27. She was born on this day in 1837. It is always timely to remind ourselves that OLSH College would never have been if it weren’t for Marie Louise’s life and her ‘Yes’ in all things. Like Mary, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, Marie Louise Hartzer also continues to be a woman of great inspiration for us. Having been a wife, mother and widowed far too young, Marie Louise knew the struggles of life. She also knew the beauty of living a life attuned to the gentle drawings of God’s spirit. It was this that enabled her to become the first Daughter of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. 

Loving God, give us the courage and strength to follow where you lead us.

Just as Marie Louise Hartzer lived life to the full, inspire us to do the same.

May we always strive to be on earth the heart of God. Amen.

Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, pray for us.

Blessings and peace on you and yours, Sr. Megan Donohue fdnsc
