Dear Parents,
There will be a special mass to celebrate the start of Catholic Schools Week on Saturday evening in St Malachy's Church. It would be great to see as many pupils present as possible.
During Catholic Schools Week we celebrate the great work that goes on in our schools.
THIS YEAR'S THEME IS: 'Catholic Schools as Communities of Service'.
Christian service puts faith into action. In Catholic schools, as we study and look to Jesus Christ as our role model and Teacher, we come to a greater understanding of the depth of Christian service. Jesus served every person regardless of creed, background, faith, social status or age. He put faith into action by showing all those around him how our Heavenly Father is compassionate, courageous and forgiving. Jesus didn’t just talk about His faith; He lived it.
We are called by faith to go into the world to share the love of God with all those we meet. Each person, at every age, is called to become Christ for another by serving every person with a humble heart and with a generous spirit.
For Catholic Schools Week, we will contemplate our schools as communities of service under the following themes:
- Service in Our Community of Friends
- Service in Our School Community
- Service in Our Family Community
- Service in Our Local Community
- Service in Our Faith Community
We look forward to seeing you there!
Yours faithfully,
Justin Toner
