Pilgrims of Hope – MACS Pilgrimage to Ireland
In March this year, I was incredibly fortunate and excited to be selected to take part of the MACS Inspired to Lead Jubilee Year formation program. I will be heading off, with 29 fellow
teachers from around Victoria, on a 14 day pilgrimage to Ireland over the September holidays, in celebration of our Jubilee Year, 'Pilgrims of Hope.'
This is a truly special opportunity that I feel very excited to be a part of. Set against the rich historical and cultural backdrop of Ireland, the pilgrimage will provide a meaningful chance to explore Catholic faith leadership and its deep connection to the Church’s traditions in Australia.
A central focus of the journey will be an immersion into the spirituality, mission, and legacy
of the Irish saints and religious orders; many of whom played a vital role in laying the foundations of Catholic education in Melbourne.
I am filled with gratitude as I prepare for this experience and I look forward to sharing my reflections, stories, and learnings with you all upon my return after the holidays.
“May you take time to rest and find peace,
May laughter lighten your days,
May your journeys be safe and your hearts be full,
May the joy of friends and family surround you,
And may God bless your holidays with grace and renewal.”
Wishing you all a safe, restful, and joyful break.
