Catholic Schools Week 2024

22nd Jan 2024

Catholic Schools Week is from Sunday 21st to Saturday 27th January 2024 and the theme of Catholic Schools is 'Communities of Service'.

In Catholic schools, Jesus is our role model and teacher.  Jesus served every person regardless of creed, background, faith, social status or age.  Jesus put faith into action by showing all those around him how to be 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 is called to serve with a humble heart and with a generous spirit.

During Catholic Schools Week, we will look at 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
