Reflecting on the theme, and on the process of synodality, the writers for Catholic Schools Week 2023 identified three features of synodality helpful to exploring ‘Walking Together in Faith & Love’:
• Communion
• Participation
• Mission
The resources will reflect on these features within the overarching theme and will make use of scriptural reflection on journey, prayer, student voice, and (spiritual) wellbeing.
Daily Themes:
Monday: Walking Together in Faith
Tuesday: Walking Together in Love
(In our school community, themes of inclusion)
Wednesday: Walking Together to Celebrate – Grandparents’ Day
(Celebrating those who help us on the journey of faith, themes of inclusion of the elderly in society – Pope Francis’ Message for the World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly 2022)
Thursday: Walking Together to Transform our World
(Themes of environment – Laudato Si’ – and Mission)
Friday: Walking Together in Hope
