CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK

January 31st-February 6th 2010 20`201020106th

This year the theme for the week is ‘Catholic Schools –A Light for Every Generation’

Catholic schools are committed to the education and formation of the young person in every aspect of their lives. Thus Catholic Schools are a light for parents, pupils, staff and society in every generation. In selecting this theme we are clearly connecting the vision of Catholic Education with the mission of the Gospel, to bring the light of Christ to the world and to allow that light to shine through and in all that we do in Catholic Schools.

This theme reminds us that we are constantly challenged to let that light shine for the present generation and this will remain part of our task for future generations. It also allows us to remember with great gratitude all those through their work in establishing schools and places of education who brought the light of Christ to many generations of Irish people in the past.

We pray for one another and we pray for our priests who serve us in their leadership and pastoral care of the community. During this week we express our gratitude for the commitment of our priests to Catholic schools and their ongoing interest in the work of schools.
