Welcome!  We hope the Religious Education section of the Archdiocesan  website will provide you with valuable insights and information about the religious education offered throughout the Archdiocese, primarily through our schools, but also through SPRED (Special Religious Education) and by the many parish teams involved in varied ministries such as sacramental preparation and children's liturgy all of which greatly support the work of school and family.

A central aspect of our team's vision is to ensure that those engaged in the varied aspects of religious education will be supported in every way possible.  We strive to offer guidance and practical assistance to school communities, parent's councils, chaplains and parish personnel associated with the school.  We undertake this locally by offering opportunities for continuing professional development and reflection.  We also engage in school visitation and liaise with local Authorities through our team of Church Representatives. We are available to assist the Church nominee on Parents Councils and actively engage in opportunities to enhance recruitment to the teaching profession.

Please contact any member of the team if you feel we may be able to assist you in any aspect of the valuable task of Religious Education.  Together we look forward to building on the legacy of Catholic education in our Archdiocese and to ensuring that it continues to serve the community of home school and parish in the new millennium.
