CATHOLIC EDUCATION WEEK

Sunday 28 July – Saturday 3 August 2019

Next week St. Joseph’s Parish School, Weipa will be celebrating Catholic Education Week.

The theme for Catholic Education Week in Queensland in 2019 is: Many Voices. One Spirit.

This theme has been chosen for its promotion and support of inclusiveness. The ‘Many Voices’ represent those of students, teachers, families, communities, parish, social services and government within all five dioceses in Queensland and include students of all educational ages (kindergarten to university), all genders and all beliefs.

‘One Spirit’ will be interpreted differently by different audiences and could include for example: faith, the Holy Spirit, charisms, or school spirit, team spirit, parish spirit, family spirit.

The theme brings feelings of energy, enthusiasm, love, joy, values, relationships, togetherness, learning, unity and belonging – all ideals relevant to Catholic schools in Queensland.

Loving God,

your Spirit is present in the many voices in our Queensland Catholic schools.

May your Holy Spirit unite us in faith, hope and love during Catholic Education week and promote and uphold the distinctive mission of Catholic schooling.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

All:  Amen.
