Colin MacLeod, Director of the National Centre for Religious Studies (NCRS), welcomes schools and Proprietors to make use of new resources prepared by NCRS:

LAUDATO SI - OUR COMMON HOME

NCRS has created, found and collated a range of excellent resources around Pope Francis’ document on the Environment and our responsibility as stewards of the Earth. These are available on www.faithcentral.nz under Classroom > Thematic Resources.

They are intended for use in Parishes and Schools by parishioners, priests, teachers, young-people and whānau. There is something for everyone – challenging and informative. If you care about the environment you should definitely check this out!

FAITHJOURNEY.NZ

NCRS have also added a number of new items to our family/whānau web-site www.faithjourney.nz. This is a great place to visit if you are wanting to share, or grow, your Catholic faith as a family. It’s designed to encourage conversation, fun and work together as we follow Jesus on a journey of faith.

As always, feedback is most welcome, email ncrs@tci.ac.nz.

ENCOUNTERING THE DIVINE

This is a small collection of encounter stories written by people in Aotearoa NZ. People have been very generous and courageous in their sharing and the document is available for use in staff meetings, classrooms, retreats etc. Click here to access.
