Many I know are living out of wedlock, and one had two children before she got married, during her employment at a catholic primary school. Many are taking contraceptives and many don't attend Mass on Sunday. This is sad.<br>In one school I know of Mass has not been offered since last year. How come?Instead children are taken to the church for "meditation". One student tells me that her class is divided into two factions, those that believe in God and those that don't- she also said this division runs throughout the entire school-this is a Catholic HS in Sydney! :(julesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21487528.post-63783287702775225932009-09-17T08:24:40.000+10:002009-09-17T08:24:40.000+10:00It's happening!!Just to make a tiny announceme...It's happening!!<br>Just to make a tiny announcement that the Catholic Archdiocese is now offering Catechesis workshops and training sessions for our Parish Young Adults group. Yee ha! <br>And there is more... <br>All speakers, material and meal breaks are supplied and run by the Catholic Archdiocese.<br>Better late than never!<br>On a sadder note, I can relate to Jules comments. <br> Wouldn't it be great if we could bring back the dedicated nuns who were by all means inspirational, respectful teachers and confidents to many of us girls who went to same sex Catholic Schools. Unfortuneately so many of our Catholic Primary school teachers to-day aren't true to the faith and this impacts onto our impressionable children.Donna Jeevesnoreply@blogger.com
