Catholic Schools Week Jan 31st- Feb 6th

Thursday, January 14, 2010

Catholic Schools Week 2010 will be celebrated by the Church in Ireland, North and South, January 31 - February 6.

Catholic Schools Week acknowledges and celebrates the tremendous contribution that Catholic primary and post-primary schools make not just to Irish society, but to the mission of the Church.

This year the. theme for the week is ‘Catholic Schools – A Light for Every Generation’. Catholic schools are committed to the education and formation of the young person in every aspect of their lives. Thus Catholic schools are light for parents, pupils, staff and society in every generation. This theme connects the vision of Catholic education with the mission of the Gospel, to bring the light of Christ to the world and to allow that light to shine through and in all that we do in our work in Catholic schools. It also allows us to remember with great gratitude all those who through their work in establishing schools and places of education brought the light of Christ to many generations of Irish people in the past.
