Archbishop Nicholas Chia celebrated the mass which was held at Catholic Junior College. The principals and vice principals of Catholic Schools present also undertook a rite of commitment to their vocation.
The Archdiocesan Commission for Catholic Schools (ACCS) has been organising the 'Principals’ Commissioning and Renewal of Commitment’ for the past eight years. This was the first time the event was held in a school as all previous celebrations were held in parishes as part of their Saturday sunset Mass.
It brings all Catholic educators together and helps them realise that in running a Catholic School they are carrying out an important part of the Church’s mission. This event is also significant for highlighting to all Catholics that they have a responsibility to support and pray for our Catholic schools.
