In this Jubilee Year of Hope, the 2025 theme for Catholic Education Week Embracing Faith, Hope & Love in our school communities seems to augment the significance of the work of educators within the Catholic faith context. Symbolically, we are pilgrims of hope, invited to be disciples who walk with Christ, where we set out to discover new ways of being in communion with the world.

Do all things for the glory of God.

Take me for your model, as I take Christ. 1 Corinthians 10:31 – 11:1

Pope Leo,

Inspired by your vision for peace and unity…

Engage our thoughts to be courageous and humble, a reflection beyond ourselves; Embrace our hearts to be tender and bold, respectful of all within creation.

Enliven our hands to be charitable and welcoming, connected to all that is just.

Across our lands, seas, skies and waterways, may we listen deeply and share dreams of faith, hope and love. Amen.
