Catholic Education Week begins this Friday, 27th May. This is a time to recognise and celebrate a long and amazing history of Catholic Education throughout the Diocese of Sale.

This year the theme of Catholic Education Week is 

“Go out into the world and spread the Good News to all creation.” Mark 16:15.

In this gospel verse, Jesus asks his disciples to share the Good News of the gospel message with everyone. This “Great Commission” has carried throughout the years and is still as relevant today as it was all those years ago. We are all called into Jesus’ ministry in some way, to be followers of Jesus, caring for those around us.

Pope Francis is calling people to follow the call that was given 2,000 years ago: to share the Good News, to care for others and to reach out to those that we encounter in our lives. He urges people to be the good news by who we are, by what we say, and by what we do. Pope Francis claims that the joy of the gospel is for all people. It fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus.

This Friday, 27th May, we will celebrate the beginning of Catholic Education Week at school. At 1:45pm we will hold a Liturgy in the school hall. Parents and families are all welcome to share this liturgy with us. Please enter through the doors of the hall and sign in using the school QR code. We ask that you please assist our school leaders by refraining from talking during our time in the hall.

At the conclusion of the liturgy the children will return to the classroom to complete an activity around the theme of spreading the Good News across the world. You are welcome to come to the classrooms to visit your children.
