CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK
This week we celebrate Catholic Schools week, this year’s theme is “Normal lives, called to Holiness.” Inspired by Pope Francis’s reflection on Blessed Carlo Acutis, this year’s theme invites pupils, teachers, families, and parishes to explore the call to Holiness as something both universal and accessible. Each day of the week reflects a different dimension of our call to Holiness: Monday – Called to Holiness through Prayer; Tuesday – Called to Holiness through love & friendship; Wednesday – Called to Holiness in Family Life; Thursday- called to Holiness through service & courage; Friday – called to Holiness through Joy & Mission.
May God continue to protect our School Communities and may each child be given an opportunity to reach their full potential.
