Our schools are looking forward to celebrating Catholic Schools Week 2023, starting on 23rd January. Monday’s theme is ‘Walking Together in Faith’.

The Irish version of our Student Friendly Charter, An Chairt ó Bhéil na Mac Léinn, is now available to download here.

The Student Friendly Charter has been converted to a flip book and is available by clicking on the picture here.

Catholic Schools will take place from Sunday 22 to Sunday 29 January 2023 on the theme of the process of synodality, with three features of synodality being identified as helpful to exploring ‘Walking Together in Faith & Love’: • Communion • Participation • Mission   Resources available here.

We hope you enjoy reading stories from our schools in the Edmund Rice network that illustrate the range of activities that form parts of the education available in our schools. Happy Christmas to all of you and best wishes in 2023.
