DO YOU BELIEVE IN CATHOLIC EDUCATION

The faith of so many Catholics was nurtured and developed by attending a Catholic school.  Bishop Declan wishes to appoint new school governors to support the education of today’s generation of pupils.  Whether you enjoyed the benefit of attending a Catholic school or not, how would you like to support Catholic education by becoming a school governor? Governors come from all walks of life and backgrounds – and why not? If you have enthusiasm and commitment, then you can help to positively influence the lives of children.  Visit https://schools.cliftondiocese.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Could-you-be-a-School-Governor.pdf or contact Bill McEntree, 07710094976 for more information and for details of how to apply.
