Stories of Hope – our founding spirits!
9.30am morning tea arrival for 10am start
In this year of Jubilee: Pilgrims of Hope, we gather as a community to celebrate the rich history and charisms of the founding orders of our Catholic schools across South Australia. This year marks the 180th anniversary of Catholic education in South Australia, a milestone that fills us with pride and gratitude.
Our theme, "Stories of Hope," illuminates the jubilee theme and honours the remarkable stories, challenges, triumphs, and the extraordinary legacy of hope that continues to thrive in our schools through their founding charisms.
This special event welcomes members from our religious communities, school leaders, student leaders, office leaders, and clergy. Together, we will reflect on our past, celebrate our present, and look forward to a hopeful future.
