Catholic Schools Week: ‘One Call, One Mission… Pilgrims of Hope'

30th May, 2025

Catholic Schools Week 2025 runs from 2 June – 6 June celebrating what makes our Catholic Schools great and raising awareness of the many opportunities Catholic schools provide through faith-based education.

It provides an opportunity for our schools to not only showcase their rich and vibrant Catholic identity, but to affirm their integral role within our local communities, highlighting the multitude of learning and faith experiences that occur every day.

This year, with the Jubilee Year in place, the theme Pilgrims of Hope resonates strongly with our schools. We use the word ‘pilgrims’ not to suggest that we are walking dusty roads with hiking poles, but rather to symbolise that we are all on a journey – teachers, students and families. And hope? That’s what keeps us moving forward, even when the path isn’t clear.

With activities happening across our schools throughout this period, contact your local school to make sure you don’t miss out on the chance to see why so many families choose Catholic education for their child’s school journey.
