Aurora’s February cover story captures a moment during a visit by Vicar General Brian Mascord to the students of St Peter’s Primary at Stockton. As a school year begins, Joanne Isaac reflects on the benefits, to all concerned, of the ‘buddy system’ that operates in most primary schools. Shirley McHugh reflects on the blessing of calling Australia home and a new column, “Faith Matters”, is introduced by Farooq Rah. All this and more is in the February Aurora!
