Jubilee of Education Week
Last week we joined Catholic schools across the world in celebrating the Jubilee of Education, a special part of the Church’s Jubilee Year. The theme, Pilgrims of Hope, invited us to reflect on how learning, faith and community walk hand in hand.
A special congratulations to our Faith and Social Justice Leaders for their wonderful initiative in leading our school’s celebration. Their creativity and leadership helped bring the Jubilee message to life in our community. We also thank our parents and staff who shared treasured mementos from their own school days these personal stories and memories helped remind our students that faith and learning are lifelong journeys.
