Bishop Patrick has shared his vision for our diocese and has encouraged all of us in Catholic schools and parishes to consider three themes: ‘Encounter’, ‘Discipleship’ and ‘Missionary Discipleship’.

 

During the Advent Term, our liturgies and Word of the Week themes centre around the theme of ‘Encounter’. We encourage all of the children to consider ways in which they encounter Jesus in their lives, so that they all know that God loves them and that they can all have a relationship with Him in their lives...

 

In the Lent Term, we focus on the theme of ‘discipleship’ and help the children to understand what it means to be a disciple of Jesus...

In the Pentecost Term, we focus on the theme of ‘Missionary Discipleship’ and help the children understand how they can actively ‘do God’s work here on Earth’.
