24.01.2022 Presentation Novena: Day 9 We invite you to reflect on Mary's life and mission. "Our eyes search to see as you saw. Our heart yearn to know as you knew . . . Be... light for our darkness. Be dawn for our new day." How can you commit to seeing and learning in new ways? How can you be light to darkness and help bring dawn to a new day?

24.01.2022 Presentation Novena: Day 8 We invite you to reflect on Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples and Mary. "And when the day of Pentecost was ful...ly come, they are all with one accord in one place." Where is the Spirit calling you? To whom is the Spirit calling you to minister and walk with in your life?

24.01.2022 The International Presentation Association’s priority action is the elimination of violence against women & children. This month, let us unite in prayer for women who are victims of violence.

23.01.2022 Our new stair decals near the Year 3-6 classrooms are a special reminder to our students of the College's touchstones of hospitality, compassion and simplicity,... and Presentation values of respect, responsibility, relationships and resilience, which are a key part of all that we do at St Mary's College. Thank you to alumna Elizabeth McKay who generously funded this project. Students are delighted to have the College values to guide them step by step. See more

23.01.2022 Nano Nagle was born in Ireland, a place of Celtic mysticism and monasticism. A sacred place where Nano nourished her Irish soul and a heart for prayer and servi...ce. Like Mary's presentation, as a young girl, in the Temple signalled her lifelong devotion to God. Nano too responded to the call to a lifelong devotion to God. We wish you every blessing on the Feast of the Presentation of Mary. See more

21.01.2022 Happy Presentation Day from IPA!! We invite you to reflect on this special feast of the Presentation of Mary in the Temple. "[The High Priest] set Mary down u...pon the third step of the altar, and the Lord sent grace upon her, and all the house of Israel loved her." May your heart and mind be filled with grace, peace, and love this day and always!

20.01.2022 People have difficulty awakening to their inner world especially when their lives have become overly familiar... The first step in awakening to your inner life ...and to the depth and promise of your solitude would be to consider yourself for a little while as a stranger to your own deepest depths. To decide to view yourself as a complete stranger, someone who has just stepped ashore in your life, is a liberating exercise. This meditation helps to break the numbing stranglehold of complacency and familiarity. Gradually, you begin to sense the mystery and magic of yourself. You realize that you are not the helpless owner of a deadened life but rather a temporary guest gifted with blessings and possibilities you could neither invent nor earn.

20.01.2022 Presentation Novena: Day 1 We invite you to reflect on the story of the Annunciation. "Behold, the handmaid of the Lord." How are you being called to say a courageous "yes" to God's call as Mary did, especially during this uncertain time of a global pandemic?

20.01.2022 Every year, Presentation People around the world pray a Presentation Novena leading up to the Feast of the Presentation of Mary on November 21. Join us each day... as we enter a reflective space to contemplate the Mystery at the heart of Mary of the Presentation. This year's novena is titled "Nine Days" and was created by the Presentation Sisters Victoria, in Australia. Thank you Presentation People Australia!

20.01.2022 Today, on the eve of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the IPA commemorated this Day with an awareness-raising virtual event.... Thanks to the 140 IPA Members and Presentation People that joined us from 13 countries! It was an inspiring experience for all! #orangetheworld See more

19.01.2022 May this be a morning of innocent beginning, When the gift within you slips clear Of the sticky web of the personal With its hurt and hauntings, And fixed fortr...ess corners, A morning when you become a pure vessel For what wants to ascend from silence, May your imagination know The grace of perfect danger, To reach beyond imitation, And the wheel of repetition, Deep into the call of all The unfinished and unsolved Until the veil of the unknown yields And something original begins To stir toward your senses And grow stronger in your heart...

13.01.2022 A fantastic achievement for one of our ex students from a Presentation school.

09.01.2022 Each year on the 8 February, the Catholic Church honours St Josephine Bahkita, a women of strength, who secured her freedom from slavery in 1890. Today human trafficking and forced labour remain hugely critical issues in our modern world. As Presentation people, we must work to end this ‘modern’ slavery.

05.01.2022 Give yourself time to make a prayer that will become the prayer of your soul. Listen to the voices of longing in your soul. Listen to your hungers. Give attenti...on to the unexpected that lives around the rim of your life. Listen to your memory and to the inrush of your future, to the voices of those near you and those you have lost. Out of all of that attention to your soul, make a prayer that is big enough for your wild soul, yet tender enough for your shy and awkward vulnerability; that has enough healing to gain the ointment of divine forgiveness for your wounds; enough truth and vigour to challenge your blindness and complacency; enough graciousness and vision to mirror your immortal beauty. Write a prayer that is worthy of the destiny to which you have been called.

01.01.2022 Presentation Novena: Day 2 We invite you to reflect on the story of the Visitation. "Mary went into the hill country with haste...and stayed with Elizabeth about three months." Who do you turn to for help and comfort in times of turmoil or distress?
