Kilbreda College welcome Fr. Timothy Radcliffe op 

Staff reflection Day

9th August 2018

Kilbreda College welcomed Fr Tim Radcliffe, as well as Killester College, De La Salle College and some representatives from Star of the Sea College for a staff reflection day on the broad topic of Catholic Identity.  The second session focused on the hope we (as educators) offer our young people.  More than 400 people were gathered in the new auditorium at Kilbreda and it was such a strong a sign of unity to have four schools come together to listen to a wise and inspiring theologian give a humourous and humbling presentation.  He reminded us that every document in the new testament is about unity  and when we gather as we did on Thursday, we are the strongest symbol that there can be of humans living together in God.  we are God's people trying to do God's work. 

It was clear that we were in the presence of a  reflective man who has had many experiences where humanity proved itself to be both the best and worst of what we can offer. He showed us that despite the  fragility of the human spirit at times we are stronger that we believe .
