The Catholic Schools Week Deanery Masses were recently celebrated with profound significance across our Diocese. Commencing on May 28th at Mary Help of Christians Church in South Tamworth, followed by a gathering on May 29th at St. Philomena’s in Moree, and culminating in a final Mass at O’Connor Catholic College’s De LaSalle Chapel on May 30th. These Masses stand as a testament to the strong collaboration between The Catholic Schools Office, our Diocesan schools, and the broader Church community. They serve to strengthen our shared faith and extend a warm invitation for communities to unite in celebration. Regina Menz, Director of Schools, reflected on the theme “Pray with Hope,” resonating deeply with our collective vision: to foster a Christcentered, inclusive learning environment that empowers young people towards a future filled with hope. She expressed heartfelt gratitude during this special week to every member of our school and parish community – students, staff, clergy, and families – acknowledging their indispensable role in advancing Catholic education within the Armidale Diocese.
