Spirit of Catholic Education Awards 2024

Today we travelled to St. Mary's University College Belfast to receive our Spirit of Catholic Education Award with Distinction from the Catholic Schools Support Service for the second time.  Mr. Traynor and Mrs. Loughran were accompanied by Anthony and Jessica, two representatives form the school's Faith Group.  After the ceremony Canon Colm visited our school to congratulate everyone on receiving such a special award.

 

In St. Joseph's we are very aware that promoting the values of environmental responsibility and the message of Laudato Sí is such an integral component of life in school.  Daily we strive to ‘live out’ the values of Catholic education and remain committed to promoting Pope Francis’ Beatitude ‘Blessed are those who protect and care for our common home’. This special award was indeed a fitting acknowledgement and proud day for our school community, especially during Catholic Schools’ Week where we are called to celebrate the theme of ‘Communities of Service’.
