Next Wednesday, May 24, is the Feast of Our Lady Help of Christians. This
is an important Feast in our country because Our Lady, under the title
“Help of Christians”, is a spiritual Patron of Australia, along with St. Mary
of the Cross MacKillop.
The feast day to Mary Help of Christians has been celebrated in Australia since
1844.

Prayer to Mary Help of Christians patroness of Australia
Almighty God, deepen in our hearts our love of Mary Help of Christians.
Through her prayers and under her protection, may the light of Christ shine
over our land.
May Australia be granted harmony, justice, and peace.
Grant wisdom to our leaders and integrity to our citizens.
Bless especially the men and women of the Australian Defence Force and their
families.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
Mary Help of Christians, pray for us.
