Frayne House Mass & Celebration

This year we are celebrating we celebrated Frayne Feast day on 7 June, at the College. Our house patron Sister Ursula Frayne. Sister Ursula Frayne dedicated so much of her life being “Merciful like the Father”, making courageous choices and decisions. As Frayne House members we acknowledge the link between the Sisters of Mercy and follow Ursula Frayne’s beliefs, challenging each person to achieve their personal best in an environment which values the respect and dignity of each person.

During the mass we presented large letters which have been created by all the HTG’s and Junior School. Each letter contained words associated with this letter and Ursula Frayne

F letter created by Frayne 1. With the F we remember that Ursula Frayne set up the first school in WA.

R letter created by Frayne 2. With the R we remember that Ursula Frayne was a respected educator who answered a request to come to WA and later Victoria.

A letter created by Frayne 3. With the A we think of the Sisters arrival in Australia and how apprehensive they much have been.

Y letter created by Frayne 4. With the Y we celebrate the legacy left by the Sisters of Mercy in WA.

N letter created by Frayne 5. With the N we think of the compassionate way that Ursula Frayne answered the needs of other people.

E letter created by Junior School. With the E we remember the enduring legacy of evangelisation and education left by Ursula Frayne

We also offer the money we have raised as a House for the MercyWorks. We hope that this can help continue their good work with the most vulnerable people across Australia, New Zealand and in East Timor.

Following mass, the celebrations continued with our House lunch. Both the Junior and Senior School enjoyed some Italian homemade style pizza and a drink with an integrated seating arrangement in New Norcia Amphitheater.
