Classroom Week long…

For Catholic Education week since the theme for this year is Walking Forward Together and the concepts are about justice love and fairness we will be focusing on Social Justice which ties in with the virtue theme of the month for the school Together we will be defining the concept of "social Justice" what it means to us as Catholics, and then we will examine passages from the bible to discover how Jesus was one of the earliest proponents of social justice. We will focus on how his actions, words and teachings were all rooted in this concept.
