We celebrated Catholic Education Week / Fortnight in November.
This year’s theme isΒ “Pilgrims of Hope“.Β Pope Francis has confirmed that 2025 will be a year of Jubilee, which happens every 25 years.
Pilgrims of Hope centres around the idea of hope for a world suffering the impacts of war, ongoing effects of Covid and climate crisis.
βWe must fan the flame of hope that has been given us, and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart and far-sighted vision. The forthcoming Jubilee can contribute greatly to restoring a climate of hope and trust as a prelude to the renewal and rebirth that we so urgently desire; that is why I have chosen as the motto of the Jubilee, Pilgrims of Hope. βΒ The Holy Father, Pope Francis.
Jubilee Pledge 2025:
We are pilgrims of hope.
We walk in solidarity with our sisters and brothers
worldwide, sharing challenges and celebrating joys.
We promise to be agents of change, working together for
justice, love and peace, locally and globally.
We want to build a fairer world, where every person,
and the earth, can flourish.
