“Faith is not a light which scatters all our darkness, but a lamp which guides our steps in the night and suffices for the journey.” (Lumen Fidei, #57)
From 23rd February to 1st March 2014 Scotland’s Catholic schools and parishes will celebrate how they support children and young people to ensure that they are “Shining the Light of Faith” in their daily lives. This theme has been inspired by the first Encyclical of Pope Francis: ‘Lumen Fidei’ (The Light of Faith).
The following resources have been developed to support schools and parishes to address the theme: ‘Shining the Light of Faith’. Copies of some printed resources have been sent to schools and parishes. Other resources can be downloaded using the links below. (NB Most resources can only be accessed by subscribers to the SCES RESOURCES service.)
