Leadership & Personal Development Gospel Values for Catholic Schools a practical guide for today Raymond Friel

Raymond Friel brings his vast experience of Catholic educational leadership to bear in addressing the centrality of Gospel values in the current climate in which the very existence of schools with a religious character, which pre-date state schools, is increasingly being challenged. As the title suggests, Friel’s account is rooted firmly in the Gospels and encompasses a coherent narrative of the significance of Gospel values for the Catholic school in general and its leadership in particular.

It also looks at how working in a church school should and can be fulfilling and enriching – professionally and spiritually – for everyone who engages with the school’s ethos. It is also a practical resource which contains a glossary of terms and useful information to help you navigate your way around the Bible and understand the church year. This book is for everyone who works in a Church of England or Church in Wales school – support staff, site managers, teachers, lunchtime supervisors and administrators alike.

Richard Wharton, Diocesan schools advisor

How to Survive as a Governor in a Church School Alexandra Green

How to Survive as a Governor in a Church School aims to help all governors, whether new or experienced, coming from a church-based background or none. The aim is to provide them with the knowledge, practical skills and confidence, to enable them to serve the school of which they are a governor, or considering becoming a governor. This in turn should enable the school, its staff and students to achieve their full potential.

Building Positive Relationships Len Kofler

Wherever we go we take ourselves, especially into relationships which are central to our lives. It takes time to unlearn destructive attitudes that we have learned over time, sometimes unthinkingly, and acquire new habits. Imagine what your life would be like if you took ten minutes a day to read this book and apply the contents to yourself? This is not a book to read through and return to the shelf: this book is a life companion to bring out the best that is in you.

Building Resilience in Schools Pastoral Outreach Series: caring for yourself and others

What happens when a student needs your encouragement in coping with a difficult personal situation? Do you want to help but sometimes feel worried in case you might “put your foot in it”? The new Pastoral Outreach series is a practical, user-friendly, non-academic pastoral resource which helps chaplains and other pastoral care providers to give even more effective and appropriate support. Written by experts in their field, each book offers background insight and sensitive coping strategies. With new titles appearing quarterly, the Pastoral Outreach series quickly grows into a valuable library for “first responders” with a role in pastoral care.

Loneliness

Christine Olsen

Depression

Adrian Treloar

St Teresa of Calcutta remarked, “Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.” Christine Olsen is a community builder for her local authority and specialises in bringing people together and helping them to find friendship. With her abundant practical experience, she offers insight and strategies which clergy and pastoral workers will find a godsend in their work.

Depression is often trivialised and sufferers told to “snap out of it” or “pull yourself together”. Yet one woman described her experience of depression, saying, “I can’t get away from ‘myself ’ and ‘myself ’ is hurting so much.” Consultant psychiatrist Dr Adrian Treloar addresses the concerns surrounding depression. He suggests practical strategies, helping clergy and other pastoral carers to sensitively support people who are experiencing the pain of depression.

For more information and sample pages see www.rpbooks.co.uk/diary This new diary for primary schools is designed to help children develop strong Christian values. For each week of the school year there is a double-page spread. On one side there is a weekly diary and on the other a Christian theme is explained in age-appropriate language with fun, engaging activities. Themes such as respect, humility, reverence and thankfulness are explained by using either a Bible story or a modern tale. Faith-building facts, puzzles, quizzes and colouring-in motivate the children to think about how the value can impact on their lives and helps them to make good choices.

The major festivals in other religions are highlighted. If this diary is used daily as a channel of communication between parents, carers and the school it will help those families that are not Christian come to understand the special mission of a church school – to grow and educate each child emotionally, physically, academically and spiritually.

The Survival Guide for Young Catholics John Chater

SPECIAL OFFER

Do you wonder why, as a Catholic, you do some of the things that you do?

Have you ever found yourself unable to answer basic questions about what you believe and why you believe it?

The Survival Guide for Young Catholics will tell you a bunch of stuff that you might already know and a lot more that you probably don’t. You won’t get long, boring answers. Instead you will get quick-fire, straight up answers that any parent or pope would be proud to hear.

So prepare for an overview of the Catholic faith that is sure to leave you a little smarter, a lot more confident and the envy of your fellow Catholics.

Marriage: when two become one While we have seen that the Church places great importance on marriage, fewer people than ever before are choosing to “get wed” – with many couples opting to cohabit instead. So, is marriage still relevant?

It should be obvious by now that the Catholic concept of marriage involves more than simply the wedding within the church, although, like everyone else, Catholics love a good wedding. However, what makes a marriage Christian is not a good knees-up following the ceremony, but a personal relationship of life-giving love in which two people make the love of Christ present to each other, and one in which the partners become a sign of love of Christ to those around them.

This is a high ideal, a sacred ideal. And it’s because of this that the Church supports and actively promotes marriage.

In addition, marriage provides 62

Why do Catholics have to get married in church?

When Catholics marry they believe that God ratifies their union. This is expressed during the wedding ceremony, in the words: “What God has joined together, let no man put asunder.” Catholics see marriage as something that God is involved in: that is why the wedding takes place in church.

many benefits, one of which is stability. This is important because a stable family provides the best environment in which to bring up children, giving them the firm grounding and confidence they need to learn and grow. It is also the best environment for the husband and wife to grow together, and for their love to deepen as the years pass.

Guided Meditations for Young Catholics

Perfect for catechists and religious educators, this exceptional collection of prayers and meditations not only teaches youth how to pray, but also invites them to consider important themes of Christian faith, such as the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit, the liturgical seasons, social justice and forming authentic relationships with others. Complementing this compilation of prayers is a CD of music by John Dawson, one of Canada’s foremost liturgical composers.

Youth will be drawn more deeply into the meditations and discover the grace that daily reflection offers us.

Be Still

A Prayer Resource DVD Sr Miriam McNulty

Be Still is a PowerPoint presentation that introduces children and their teachers to a variety of meditative approaches to prayer.

These meditations are based on the senses, the Old Testament and the New Testament and can be used as part of an RE or catechetical programme or as stand-alone sessions. Be Still offers a range of reflective exercises which are designed to build upon children’s natural gifts and also to introduce them to traditional forms of Christian meditation.

5 minutes with the Saints More Spiritual Nourishment for Busy Teachers Ann Primus Berends

This unique book of meditations draws on insights and anecdotes from great Catholic saints on the subject of education. It will encourage and inspire teachers and others on the front lines of Catholic education. Drawing its inspiration from the great saints and founders of religious orders dedicated to teaching, 5 Minutes with the Saints offers today's educators the bitesized moments of spiritual motivation and affirmation they need to continue their challenging work. Each reflection features a short excerpt on the spirituality of Catholic education by saints such as Andre Bessette, Ignatius Loyola and Elizabeth Ann Seton, followed by a personal reflection and a short prayer.

Releasing the Angel

Saluting All Who Strive to Teach Christopher Gleeson

This is a book for teachers and all involved in teaching. All teachers are springtime workers in trusting that the seeds they sow in their students will one day produce people who make a difference in the wider community. Schools abound in angels and not all of them are teachers! The site manager, the cleaner, the nurse, the cook, the front desk receptionist: these are just a few of those people in our school communities whose angelic quality connect us to God in the ordinary and the everyday of life.
