• The Spiritual Development in Schools Unit within the Secretariat for Catholic Education organised a seminar as a follow up to the ‘Meditation in Schools‘ seminar held in November, and also to celebrate and share Good Spiritual Practices in Schools. 

    Around 70 educators participated actively during the seminar and according to Fr Reuben Gauci, responsible for the pastoral ministry in state schools, one could sense that there is an increased interest in spirituality. This interest arises in response to the thirst for spiritual nourishment that students – and also staff members – express in various manners as observed by yourselves throughout the year.

    The Secretariat for Catholic Education is pleased to note a number of spiritual practices that have become rooted in the activities of a number of schools. “Hearing about the positive effect of such initiatives makes us want to share them with more and more schools,” said Fr Gauci.

    Anyone who is interested in learning more about these practices can get in touch with the Secretariat for Catholic Education.
