gettingreadyCéad Fáilte / WelcomeThe theme of Catholic Schools Week this year brings two important realities together. The first isthe community of faith and the second is sharing the good news.Share the Good News is the title of Ireland’s national directory for catechesis. It is a guide for thejourney of faith from early childhood to mature adulthood. It is full of images, stories and plans forhow all of us can share the good news in the various communities of faith of which we are a part.You should dip into it sometime, not least into the sections that deal with schools during this week.There are many communities of faith. The family home is the most important community of all,where the seed of faith is first sown. In the school community this seed is nurtured and grows, butin teenage years it is also challenged and can be subjected to caricature and ridicule. During adultyears people often feel inadequate in expressing their faith in a society that leaves little space forGod. So it is that we all need a community of faith that is bigger than home or school. For most ofus this will be the parish.When a parish is working well it is truly a remarkable witness to faith. The parish is defined bygeography but it lives by faith: from the celebration of Mass to all of the other sacraments; fromthe welcome given at baptism to the support of the bereaved; from the unseen, voluntary labour tothe care of those in need; from praying every day to working for justice; from a sense of local life tobeing part of a universal church.The Catholic Church worldwide is celebrating a Year of Faith. During Catholic Schools Week 2013 weare asking parishes and schools to reach out to each other in a spirit of faith. Over the past few yearsmany parishes and schools have celebrated this week together. But some have not. In particular, Iask parishes that haven’t participated in Catholic Schools Week in previous years to do so this year.The good news is that the seed of faith has been sown in our lives. Jesus revealed much about thereign of God through the parables that he told. Amongst the most important are those that speakof a sower sowing seeds. Some seeds fell in thorns and were choked. Some fell in a drain and weredrowned. Some fell in shallow earth and perished. And some fell in rich soil and yielded thirty, sixty,even a hundred fold. People often read these parables in a moralistic way – making judgementsabout the quality of people. But the true meaning of these parables is that the Word of God willnot be frustrated by anything human: while many seeds may not bear fruit, the true seed of theWord of God will yield a rich harvest in unexpected ways in our personal lives, in our families, in ourparishes, and, yes, in our schools. The task of Christian faith is not to bemoan all that is wrong withus and our lives, but to have the eyes to see that even in the midst of a sad and difficult world theseed of God’s Word is bearing fruit in ways that we could never have imagined.Let’s celebrate the good news of our Christian faith during this week in the communities that areour homes, our schools and our parishes. You will find many useful suggestions in this booklet tohelp you.Michael DrummChairpersonCatholic Schools PartnershipPost-Primary ResourceCatholic Schools in the Community of Faith: Sharing the Good News 1

How to Celebrate CatholicSchools Week in Your ParishparishresourcesCatholic Schools Week 2013 begins on Sunday, 27 January, the Third Sunday in OrdinaryTime. Over the past four years parishes throughout the country have responded with greatgenerosity and creativity to the invitation to take time during this week to celebrate thecontribution made by Catholic Schools to their communities. This can be done in a varietyof ways: during the Sunday Liturgy, by joining in the activities in the parish schools and bycreating opportunities for the parish community to connect with the school community.Two copies of the Catholic Schools Week Resource are sent to schools and one copy to allpriests ministering in parishes. They will arrive during the week beginning 7 January.There are many different ways in which parishes might choose to celebrate Catholic SchoolsWeek and the following are just some suggestions that might help.Sunday, 27 JanuaryCelebration of the Eucharist for the Third Sunday in Ordinary TimeIf you have a Liturgy Group make sure that they are made aware of Catholic Schools Week asearly as possible so that they can be involved in preparing the liturgy for this Mass. Encouragethem to ensure that Catholic Schools Weeks becomes part of the annual life of the parish. Itwill always begin on the last Sunday in January. Consider how best the schools in your community might become involved in this Sunday’scelebration of the Eucharist.

Thoughts for the DayMondayschoolresourcesThe theme for Catholic Schools Week 2013 is Catholic Schools in the Community of Faith: Sharing the GoodNews. The context for our celebration this year is the Year of Faith announced by Pope Benedict, in which hecalls upon Catholics all over the world to take time to reflect upon their faith so that they may deepen theirunderstanding of and love for Jesus Christ, who reveals to us the infinite compassion of God. In our school weare not just an organisation or a company; we are in fact a community and what unites us is our shared interestin teaching and learning based on a Christian understanding of what it means to be a human being. Let us usethis week to reflect upon and celebrate who we are as a community that has its roots in a good news story – thestory of Jesus Christ who came that we might have life in its fullness.TuesdayIt is very difficult to celebrate good news or exciting events on your own. Where’s the fun in celebrating yourfavourite team’s victory if there is nobody with you? We need to gather with others for the things that reallymatter to us, and that’s why for two thousand years Catholics have gathered for prayer every Sunday – it is tocelebrate the resurrection of Jesus. It is a time to remember all the ways we are blessed, to find hope and toexperience the care and compassion of a community that has at its centre an awareness of the presence of therisen Christ. When we are in school we are busy with work, study and all the demands that are part and parcelof everyday life. So we can easily forget to make prayer a part of that life and that is why it is important to takea little time to become aware of God’s presence and to allow the habit of prayer and reflection to become partof who we are.WednesdayEven in our technological era books are very much a feature of school life – whether they are e-books or printedpages we learn much from the wisdom that others share with us. Through books we come to understandnew ideas and cultures, and gain insights that can change our lives. In recent years, especially since the SecondVatican Council, the Bible is a book that is being rediscovered by many Catholics. We have come to understandthat the Bible is a place where the human story and the story of God come together. Through its stories, prayersand reflections our lives are touched by the Holy Spirit who brings us to awareness that the Word of God is aliveand active and is a force for good in our lives leading us leading us to a knowledge and love of Christ.ThursdayOne of the best images for our community of faith is that of the body – we are the body of Christ and althoughwe are different, each of us has our part to play, our gifts to use for the good of others. School is a great placeto show how this works in action. We are not just staff who teach and students who learn, rather we are acommunity, where each person has a role to play and talents to share, and when we find ways of doing thatthe community is made stronger and we all come to a greater awareness of our own worth. This vision is basedon the values that Jesus taught his followers, not just by his words but also by his deeds. During this CatholicSchools Week and this Year of Faith let us try to be true to that vision.FridayToday is the Feast of St Brigid and the first day of spring in our tradition. It is a day to be grateful for the manyways in which we are blessed. Brigid recognised the presence of God in her life in two particular ways: she couldsee God in nature and in the poor. Nature points to the wonder, beauty and mystery of the divine presence,inviting us to learn from its seasons and rhythms. Every spring offers the hope of renewal and speaks of theGod of life who wants to shed light in our hearts. Brigid also recognised that in Jesus, who was born pooramong the poor, God is speaking to us and challenging us to reach out to those in any kind of need and to thoseon the margins. If our school community is closed to such people then we are failing to share the good newsthat everyone is invited to God’s table.Post-Primary ResourceCatholic Schools in the Community of Faith: Sharing the Good News 7
Sharing the Good News DuringCatholic Schools Week 2013schoolresourcesThis year we are offering our school communities the opportunity to reflect together on keyelements of our faith life, so that we can become better witnesses to God’s love for the worldmade known through the good news of his Son, Jesus Christ. It is a wonderful opportunity torespond to Pope Benedict’s invitation to the Year of Faith, which is being celebrated all aroundthe world. Our themes for the week all stem from the joyous outpouring of the Holy Spirit thattook place during Vatican II fifty years ago. Each day we reflect on different ways of sharing thegood news and we celebrate the saints whose witness to the good news still has relevance fortoday. How we gather as a Church (Monday 28 January): The Feast of Thomas Aquinas How we encounter God in the Scriptures (Wednesday 30 January): St Aidan How we pray together (Tuesday 29 January)How we participate in our community (Thursday 31 January): St Don BoscoHow we reach out to others of different faiths (Friday 1 February): St BrigidmondaySt ThomasAquinasWeGatherSt BrigidThird Weekin Ordinary TimefridayWeReach OuttuesdayWeWorshipGuadium et SpesSharing theGood NewsDon JohnBoscoIrish Martyrs/St AidanthursdaywednesdayWeEncounterWeParticipateIn the Catholic School when we share the good news we do so as part of a community offaith that includes parents and the parish.
