The theme of this year’s Catholic Education Week is “Nurturing Hope”.  We hear from the prophet Isaiah that “those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength, they will run and now grow weary”.  (Isaiah 40:31)  Here is Bishop Crosby’s video Hope – filled message to kick off Catholic Education Week.

Liturgy of the Word

(This could be used on any one of the five days of this CEW week that the school community decides is most fitting).

In lieu of an in-person Catholic Education Week Mass this year, His Excellency Bishop Crosby has pre-taped a Liturgy of the Word for celebration in the home or virtual classroom.

Shortened Liturgy of the Word made specifically to be used with Primary/Junior Classes.
