Catholic Schools Week (30^th January - 5^th February) gives everyone involved in Catholic education the opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the contribution that our Catholic schools make to Irish life.  This is the third year that we have marked this special week across the island of Ireland.  The aim of Catholic Schools Week is to create a space where we can proudly articulate and celebrate our ethos and identity.  During this week we encourage you, as parents, to take time to reflect on what it means to have your child as part of a Catholic school community, and to consider how you can support the work being done in your child's Catholic school. 

A Prayer for your Family
Loving God,
We thank you for the love that binds us together.
Help us to always stay strong and true to each other.
Thank you for the example of love given to us by Jesus.
May his life inspire us to be the best parents we can be.
Thank you for our school community,
and for the teachers who guide and help our
students to follow in your ways.
May our Catholic schools and families always
be rooted in the Gospel message of love.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
