Catholic Education Sunday- 16th February

On Sunday 16th February we celebrate Education Sunday. 
This year's ecumenical theme for Education Sunday is 'Going Above and Beyond...'
 (from www.catholiceducation.org.uk)
It is a day of celebration for our schools and parishes as they give thanks for all the pupils, staff and parents who work so hard in and for Catholic schools. 

It is also an opportunity for us all to reflect on the contribution that Catholic education makes to our communities.
