Staff Spirituality Day

St Joseph’s Grenfell staff, along with colleagues from St Francis Xavier School (Lake Cargelligo) and St Mary’s War Memorial School (West Wyalong), joined together on Monday for our annual Spirituality Day. This was held at “Christ the King” Farm Chapel, Kiacatoo. The focus of the day was ‘Walking Together on The Journey of Reconciliation’ with a focus on Human Dignity and reflections on the Scripture ‘The Road to Emmaus’.

Lee Herden (Canberra-Goulburn Principal Catholic Identify Officer) and Lachie Eveston (Teaching and Learning Support Officer – Aboriginal Education) led all staff through several activities, with additional valuable insights provided by West Wyalong Parish Priest Fr Dominic Byrne.

Attendees came away with a deeper awareness and understanding of the need for a transformational journey to become a reconciling community and that we are equal stakeholders in bringing healing to our communities. The day concluded with reflection time and a liturgy in the beautiful Farm Chapel. This was a special day and wonderful way for staff to come together to commence the term.
