THE YEAR OF JUSTICE VICTORIA LOPEZ VAQUERO & MIA WONG

This is an edited version of the Justice Address, delivered by College Captains, Victoria Lopez Vaquero and Mia Wong, at the Inaugural Mass in February 2018. We thank you for joining us to celebrate our Inaugural Mass in the 90th year of Loreto Coorparoo. We acknowledge our many special guests, here to celebrate the commissioning of our new Principal, Mrs Kim Wickham. Mary Ward wanted to bring about a more humane and caring world based on right relationships. We are challenged in this special anniversary year to ensure our relationships are right, with God, our neighbours and all of creation. The motto chosen for this year is from the prophet Micah. When the people of Israel asked what God wanted of them, Micah said, “To act justly, to love tenderly and to walk humbly with your God.” (Mi 6: 8) What does this mean for us here at Loreto? Acting justly is about being generous and using what we have to improve the lives of people in need. In a world of inequality and oppression, we stand with those exploited in any way by unjust systems and structures. We begin by being grateful for what we have and thanking God for this; then we must reach out to those who are marginalised. Acting justly requires action, not mere talk. Micah prompts us to love others tenderly, to treat them with loving-kindness. We are asked to have compassion for those around us and, as Mary Ward promoted, an open circle of friends. We challenge you, the young women of Loreto, to include others in this year of justice. When you see someone who is left out or alone, invite her to sit with you, show an interest in her and accept her differences. In other words, love her tenderly. Finally, Micah explains that the Lord requires us to walk humbly with our God. To ‘walk humbly’ is a description of the heart’s attitude. Instead of taking pride in what we bring to God, we humbly recognise that nothing can replace a heart truly committed to justice and love. Our final challenge for you all is to resist the desire to judge others. Refraining from negative judgements will create in our school a liberating environment where every girl can have the courage to be herself. An environment which allows each girl to flourish is only possible if each of you are able to act justly, love tenderly and walk humbly with God. The three challenges that we have asked of you are not easy; at times they will require immense courage – courage to be seekers of truth and doers of justice. The response of a good heart is outward, through works of justice; inward, by loving tenderly; and upward, as we strive to walk humbly with God.

PHILIPPIANS 2: 2

This biblical passage, taken from St Paul’s letter to the new and established staff, younger and older students, past Philippians, was read at my Commissioning Mass at the pupils and Loreto families. Each member of our school start of the year. Paul wrote to a fledgling Christian church community has different strengths and faces different community providing advice on how to enact a Christian challenges. So what does unite us as a school? life. It is thought that Paul wrote the letter in prison where I believe it is the charism of Loreto and our commitment: he faced the possibility of execution. Throughout his life, To do ordinary things well, to act in freedom rather than he travelled to dangerous places where his reception was in fear, … (to find joy in all we do), to work for justice (and often hostile.

In 2018, Loreto schools around Australia are focused on the virtue of Justice. Consequently, Loreto Coorparoo’s 90th Anniversary is an opportune time to survey a history of the College’s commitment to Justice over its 90-year history. When Mary Ward opened schools for girls, many of them from poor families, it was her loving relationship with Jesus that motivated her mission. In the Loreto tradition, works of justice and mercy have always originated from, and been sustained by, our identity as a community loved by God. The College began in 1928 due to the generosity of the initial Sisters who served the Catholic community, living in spartan conditions and reliant upon generous benefactors. Historically, Sodalities were an important means by which 1 the nexus of faith and action for justice were nurtured at Loreto Coorparoo. The 1934 minutes of “Our Lady’s Sodality” speak of garments for the poor being donated and needy children being supported. In the 1970s, Loreto Coorparoo responded to Vatican II’s challenge that Catholics more closely connect their faith in Jesus with the day-to-day needs of others by creating the Loreto Social Welfare Committee. This group of students raised awareness of social justice issues and promoted action for justice. One practical result of this grounding of faith in day-today realities was that on Saturday mornings, three taxis 2 delivered Indigenous children from neighbouring suburbs to Loreto where girls provided learning support in writing, spelling and maths. In 1981 the Interact Club commenced. The group’s initial emphasis on fund raising was later complemented by action for compassion and justice. Practical action was the focus of the community service program that began in 1982 where Year 11 students provided support to local families with particular needs. They assisted staff in the care of children 3 at Xavier Special School, Buranda School for the Blind and the Autistic Association. Girls visited the elderly in local aged care facilities and respite centres. In 1988 the St Vincent de Paul Society began at Loreto and to this day it continues due to the generosity of the hundreds of students who have been members over the past 30 years and the staff who have supported them. Over this time, Vinnies students have supported the homeless, visited the elderly, assisted disabled children and raised funds for health care in Timor Leste.

| 5 | AUGUST / 2018 JUSTICE: AN ENDURING COMMITMENT

In 1991 Amnesty International commenced at Loreto. The group advocated for prisoners of conscience through letter writing campaigns. In 2008, Amnesty was replaced by Caritas, a group of students who supported the principles and the work of the church’s major overseas aid organisation of the same name. The Caritas group advocated for justice and peace through the annual peace day celebrations, the Make Poverty History Campaign and the Millenium Development Goals. They promote Project Compassion appeals each Lent and raise school awareness of global development challenges. In 1990 a significant and continuing initiative was 6 introduced to our much-loved annual Mission Day. Today, senior students enter each classroom to conduct a 45-minute lesson to help all girls more deeply appreciate 7 the focus of the day’s enjoyable activities. Specific projects conducted by Catholic Mission and Mary Ward International are chosen to benefit from funds raised from Mission Day. The senior students familiarise every girl in the school with the specifics of these targeted projects. This has effectively connected Loreto Coorparoo with the global Mary Ward community and the universal Church. The College’s first Immersion experience was in 2015 in Timor Leste. Then followed an immersion to Vietnam in 2016 and a return to Timor Leste in 2017. The College worked closely with Catholic Missions and with Loreto communities working in schools and orphanages in Vietnam and Timor Leste. The girls and staff privileged to 8 engage with the local Timorese and Vietnamese people were gifted with transformative experiences.
