Principals' on their overseas pilgrimage
Led by Delegate of the Diocesan Administrator Rev Christopher de Souza PP, Greg Whitby, Chancery representatives, Catholic Education leaders and a small group of local Principals are currently on pilgrimage to Jordan, Israel, Assisi and Rome.
Since 2012, all Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta Principals have been offered the opportunity to participate in a 17 to 19 day pilgrimage. There have been five pilgrimages in total, including journeys following in the footsteps of St Paul and St Mary of the Cross MacKillop.
Each pilgrimage has provided a powerful formation experience, strengthening the faith of local Catholic leaders. In addition to supporting principals in their work of evangelisation, pilgrimages have also forged and strengthened collaboration and community between participants.
During November, Catholic School principals from the Diocese of Parramatta participated in a pilgrimage to places of spiritual significance in Jordan, Israel, Assisi and Rome.

✨ Advent – Whole School Prayer 1: Hope ✨ This afternoon, St Canice's came together for the first of our Advent prayers, focusing on the theme of Hope. May we bring the light of hope into our own lives and into the lives of others. And may we slow down enough to notice how we might be an angel for someone — or how someone is an angel for us. 💛🕯️
