From 21-26 August 2018, families from all over the world will gather in Dublin to celebrate the World Meeting of Families (www.worldmeeting2018.ie). These families will reflect on their lives together, to share their experiences from different parts of the world, to reflect on the different challenges they face and to grow together in faith. This event also presents a special opportunity to celebrate not only the vital role that Catholic schools play within our Church and wider community but also to celebrate the family lives of the children and young people within our schools.
