Catholic Identity

 PRAYER

The Catholic Education Sandhurst Ltd. (CESL) 2026 theme is "Seek Peace and Pursue It" Psalm 34:14 & 1 Peter 3:11

In a world marked by complexity, division, and noise, the biblical call to “Seek peace and pursue it” offers a profound and timely invitation—one that resonates deeply with the mission of Catholic Education in 2026. This phrase is not passive; it is a call to action. Peace is not merely something to hope for—it is something to actively chase, cultivate, and embody. 

At the international level, peace is often spoken of in terms of diplomacy and justice. Yet, true peace begins not in treaties, but in hearts. In Australia, where diverse cultures and perspectives meet, peace must be pursued in how we listen, include, and reconcile. In our personal and professional relationships, peace is the foundation of trust, collaboration, and compassion. And in our own hearts, peace is the quiet strength that allows us to lead with integrity, respond with grace, and live with purpose. 

The second half of the CESL Theme reflection will be included in our next newsletter.
