Catholic Education Week took place from 23 Feb until 01 March 2014 all over Scotland and the children of St. Joseph’s, Helensburgh eagerly took part.
The week started off on Education Sunday (23 February) with the parishioners receiving a report from the school giving a detailed account on developments in Catholic Education from the previous year; this was presented alongside detail of all the plans to develop Catholic Education in the forthcoming week at school.
The theme of the Catholic Education Week was ‘Shining the Light of Christ’ and the children all worked diligently on their projects from candle making and thinking how they shine their light of faith in the world, to a friendship tree, shining the light of friendship on others.
The week was rounded off by a celebration of Mass at school with the church parishioners and parents. Representatives from each class presented the children’s work from the week. It was a thoroughly enjoyable week at St Joseph’s!
It was lovely to hear what each class had worked on and how they had all ‘shone the light of Christ’ in different ways.
