Message from Most Rev Donal McKeown, Bishop of Derry
Jesus says that he wants us to have ‘life to the full’. But we all know that the two years have been very stressful for many people – young people and adults, pupils and staff in schools. This project wants to help everybody look forward with hope, and not merely look back in anger. People of faith in Jesus believe that even difficult times have their blessings. Followers of Jesus believe that ‘with God on our side, nothing can be against us’ (Cf St Paul’s letter to the Romans, 8:31). I thank all those who have been involved in preparing these materials. And I thank our schools for all that they have done to help pupils staff and families. I hope that these materials can be used to help individuals and school communities grow together in faith.”
