Catholic Schools Week 2025 will be celebrated from 19th to 25th  January, with the theme of Catholic Schools: Alive in Christ. Christ calls us together as a living faith  community so that our schools, parish and families may support and animate one another . Our Catholic schools are places where faith is lived in service to one another in a spirit of inclusion, joy, hope and belief in one another as gifts from God The second reading, of Mass today from 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, speaks of the variety  of gifts given to us by the Spirit. The gospel reading is a foretelling of the Echaristic celebration in the account of the Wedding at Cana (Jn 2:1-11). Both readings provide inspiration for the themes of thanksgiving, the abundance of gifts given to us by the Spirit, the call to change so that we become more alive in Christ,  the call to be Christian and the value of each person and each gift. This marries well with the educating nature at the core of our catholic  schools: to bring out what is within and to bring out the divine  qualities of the soul as well
