MARRIAGE AND FAMILY WEEK

Bishop Michael Kennedy has designated this week as Marriage and Family Week for the Armidale Diocese. The week includes the celebration of the feast of Saints Joachim and Anne on Friday 26th July. The theme for Marriage and Family Week is ‘The Family: School of Virtue’. “The goal of a virtuous life is to become like God.”- St Gregory of Nyssa. Throughout the week staff and students will have the opportunity to explore our Catholic understanding of what we mean by ‘virtue’ and how the family is a school of virtue and understand its relevance in our contemporary society.
