"It's not a matter of doing
but a matter of being — the
kind of people we are," was
the way Bishop John Sherlock
of London spoke of people to
the 160 separate school
teachers from Huron and
Perth counties attending the
professional development
day in Dublin Monday,
October 17.
"We need to be a people
who truly love God and our
neighbour — a people who are
open to God in love, and
experience it in our own lives
and speak convincingly to
others," he said.
At the day long program
held in St. Patrick's School in
Dublin with the theme, What
Makes Our Schools Catholic.
Bishop Sherlock contrasted
covenant and contract. He
said our relationship with
God is a passionate love af-
fair — not a deal where we
give a little and get a little.
He said God loves us
totally, unconditionally and
utterly and he calls on us to
return it in. the samenanner.
He said people who have that
experience want to share this
with our children.
William Eckert, director of
education for the Huron -
Perth County Roman
Catholic separate school
board, said in his remarks to
the teachers, "Priests,
parents and teachers attempt
in a co-operative effort to
make each child's learning an
experience that allows him to
find the true meaning of a
Christian life.'
Concluding he said that
catholic education must help
provide the framework within
which students are able to
judge the moral issues of the
day.
Mr. Eckert spoke of the
Huron -Perth board's "un-
precendented period of
es separate schools to be loving exam
curriculum and program meet today's needs — Family
development designed Jx, Life, religious, education and
social and environmental
studies
