3rd Communio - Common vision and mission

The 3rd Communio of 2010 was held today, the 30th of July at CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel. The objective was to discuss the possibility of a common vision and mission for our Catholic Schools.
The occasion was graced by Archbishop Nicholas Chia who, in his address said that "As a family of Catholic schools within the education system in Singapore we have a common context and share in the Mission of Christ and the Church. It is very important that we see what is common in our mission and purpose and highlight that especially when we gather as a group of schools." His Grace went on to mention that the search today is for what binds us together and gives a stronger common purpose.
Christine Kheng led the day's activities which consisted of two group discussions focussing on a particular school's charisms and "What makes a Catholic School Catholic?" and summing it up with a plenary.
ACCS executive director, Wendy Louis wrapped up the day's proceedings with a synthesis.
ACCS would like to thank the principal Mrs Catherine Seah for the usage of the school's facilities as well as refreshments for tea break.
