The Catholic Bishop of Sale, Most Reverend Greg Bennet has formally commissioned newly appointed Catholic school principals and religious education leaders, including leaders at St Catherine’s Primary School in Berwick and St Patrick’s Primary School in Pakenham.
Members of the Diocese of Sale held a Thanksgiving Mass at St Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in Clyde North recently, bringing together education leaders and clergy to celebrate Catholic Education Week in the Diocese.
St Catherine’s Primary School principal Anna Viney and religious education leader Rian Prestwich and St Patrick’s Primary School religious education leader Mary Andrews each received a Missionary Cross as a symbol of leadership.
Director of Catholic Education for the Diocese of Sale Paul Velten said Catholic Education Week was an important time to reflect and celebrate the Catholic identity within school communities in the Diocese of Sale and continue to embrace the mission of providing a faith-filled and inspiring education to students.
“The leadership and dedication of our newly appointed principals and religious education leaders serve as a shining example of our commitment to nurturing the hearts and minds of our students in the Diocese of Sale,” he said.
