Catholic Schools Week 2024 – Communities of Service
Catholic Schools Week takes place from Sunday 21 to Saturday 27 January 2024 on the theme of 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 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
We look forward to community members joining us for our special mass on Wednesday at 9:30 am in St Patrick's Church Killesher. We will be serving refreshments in the school afterwards.
