Why the Church provides Catholic Schools...
The primary reason why the Church provides Catholic schools is to be part of the Church’s mission in education, placing Christ and the teachings of the Catholic Church at the centre of people’s lives.
As Pope Benedict XVI made clear in a speech to educators:
“Education is integral to the mission of the Church to proclaim the Good News. First and foremost, every Catholic educational institution is a place to encounter the living God who in Jesus Christ reveals his transforming love and truth.”
In preparation for the 2025 Jubilee Year ‘Pilgrims of Hope’, 2024 has been designated a Year of Prayer.
The Holy Father has asked that 2024 be year of prayer, as a preparatory year for the Jubilee. This will start in Advent 2023. In preparation for the Jubilee we are encouraged to remember the importance of both individual and community prayer.
