12.01.2022 'Always Was, Always Will Be.' That is the theme for this year's celebration of #NAIDOCWeek across the country. 'Always Was, Always Will Be.' acknowledges that hundreds of Nations and cultures covered this continent. All were managing the land - the biggest estate on earth - to sustainably provide for their future. ... Long before European settlement, First Nations People were the first stewards of our country. One of the core Benedictine Values is Stewardship, and St Benedict calls on us to foster a fundamental reverence toward the creation that God has made. In the sprawling grounds of Mater Dei, we are especially aware of the beauty of the land around us and reflect that its traditional custodians are, always were and always will be the Dharawal people.

08.01.2022 We've hit a lot of important milestones this week in #MoveIt4MaterDei! Firstly, we made it half way through the challenge! Secondly, so far, we have moved for over 104,000 minutes.... That is the equivalent of driving from Sydney to Perth... 42 times! Not only that, in just such a short time everyone has contributed so much to the kids and Young Adults at Mater Dei. Last week we dared to dream big, and you all delivered. Over $50k and counting - you are all amazing. EDIT: Previous version of the post incorrectly stated 140,000 minutes instead of 104,000 - which is still Sydney to Perth 42 times. Still, a massive achievement!!

04.01.2022 Talk about Talent! We debuted the NextPath Talent Show this week (organised by our Young Adults)! While the stage was humble (just our Narellan Launchpad), th...e performances were spectacular: a mixture of singing, acting and dancing. At one point, we all held our phone torches up and swayed to a sign language performance of MJ's Heal the World. A major bonus on the day were these super cool microphones that so many of our YA mysteriously owned... Young Adults, where did you get them from?? Let us know below if you have one too See more

Thank you to everybody who supported Mater Dei and raised funds by buying a ticket.
