Catholic Schools Week 2026 – Thursday
Called to Holiness through Courage and Service
Today we celebrate how our call to holiness shines through the ways we courageously serve others and care for God’s creation. Our environment is a precious gift, shared with every living creature, and entrusted to us with love and responsibility.
As reflected in today’s prayer, we are reminded that when we care for the world around us, we are living out the holiness God calls us to each day. At St. Mary's, our pupils learn that creation is sacred—and that even small acts of stewardship, kindness, and service can make a meaningful difference.
May we continue to nurture our community, protect our environment, and serve the common good with generous hearts.
