QUEENSLAND CATHOLIC EDUCATION WEEK – MANY VOICES – ONE SPIRIT

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS IN THE DIOCESE OF ROCKHAMPTON HAVE BEEN INVITED TO HONOUR THE ELDERLY IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AS PART OF THIS YEAR’S CELEBRATION OF CATHOLIC EDUCATION WEEK WHICH RUNS FROM JULY 28 TO AUGUST 3. 

 “We need to hear their stories and know their past. They are our living treasures and valued and cherished members of our community,” Rockhampton Catholic Education Director, Leesa Jeffcoat said. 

 Miss Jeffcoat said each year during Catholic Education Week schools aim to participate in a simultaneous act of kindness or outreach and this year schools will be part of a special effort to foster greater compassion and respect for the elderly in their communities.
