Catholic Schools Week 2025 – Alive in Christ!

13th Jan 2025

St Mary's will celebrate Catholic Schools Week 2025, Sunday 19th January to Saturday 25th January, 2025.

“Christ is alive! He is our hope, and in a wonderful way he brings youth to our world, and everything he touches becomes young, new, full of life. The very first words, then, that I would like to say to every young Christian are these: Christ is alive and he wants you to be alive!” 
 – Pope Francis, Christus Vivit, Section 1.

Reflecting on the theme, St Mary's will explore what it means to be fully alive as a human being – living life to the full in Christ. Sensitive to the age appropriateness of the various classes and years, the theme will explore how we exist for one another in Christ, building from the wellbeing of the individual, extending the notion of true wellbeing to others, to our families and communities, and to The Other, in God. The theme will meditate on hope, the true purpose and meaning of human life, and, in the more senior years, on true freedom.

The theme will be connected with Grandparents’ Day on Wednesday 22nd January of Catholic Schools Week. 

Primary One warmly invite their Grandparents to a special 'Grandparents Day' Assembly on Wednesday 22nd January, 9:45 am - 10:45 am in the school Assembly Hall.
