Catholic Schools Week 2021

Catholic Schools Week 2021

Catholic Schools Week is celebrated during the last week in January each year. Here in Blackrock, we celebrate being a Catholic School every week of the year. Our “normal” week includes the availability of Daily Mass, which is livestreamed on the College website at 8.15am each weekday morning, meditation / mindfulness classes, Chaplaincy support, social media reflections, Student Council reflections, students delivering homilies at family masses, faith friends, St Vincent de Paul Society, retreats for each year group … staff … parents / past parents / grandparents … past students etc. etc… so what makes Catholic Schools Week special?

The international theme this year centered on “Community”… Monday – resilience, Tuesday – faith, Wednesday – love & intergenerational solidarity, Thursday – challenges and Friday – hope and resilience. Our four values reflect this theme with being there, being truthful, being caring and being grateful – values which we all strive for, while often falling short, continue to strive for … because we are a people of faith, of hope and of love and the Holy Spirit is Love.

As a Spiritan School, various year groups during Catholic Schools Week were involved with and availed of Mediation on Monday, photographing nature which filled them with the joy of God’s creation on Tuesday, phoning grandparents on Wednesday, a fun quiz on Thursday and attending online Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament on Friday… special thanks to all who helped make everything possible.

… and all of this happened online – One statistic: The College Chapel was “visited” 2,458 times online during Catholic Schools Week. We are truly fortunate to be part of the community which we call “Blackrock”.

The Spirit, the Holy Spirit is truly alive.

We thank Mr Madden, Mr O’Reilly, Ms Crimmins and our Pastoral team for keeping faith at the forefront of College life.
