Newsletter 14 June - Loreto Normanhurst Newsletter

Principal’s Message

In the week of Loreto Day, I was invited by the Australian Catholic University (ACU) as Principal to take part in a roundtable discussion in Rome that focused on the model of sustainable governance required for Catholic organisations to respond to the uniquely complex challenges of our times.

June is a month that involves many important dates for the Catholic Church including the birth of John the Baptist, Pentecost and the Feast of the Sacred Heart. Another of these important dates is the Ascension of Jesus, which was celebrated on Sunday 2 June. At the end of His earthly life, Jesus ascends both body and soul, triumphantly into heaven. This event marks the end of the Easter season and reminds us of the sacrifice Jesus made for all of humanity through His death.

The wave of change that is sweeping the globe is at work within and beyond our own community.
