to: Catholic
Teachers of Trinidad and Tobago
On behalf of His Grace Bishop Van Looy (Ecclesiastical
Assistant), Mr. Giovanni Perrone (Secretary General) and Dr John Lydon
(Treasurer) I would like to take this opportunity to send the greetings of the
World Union of Catholic Teachers to yourself as President of the Caribbean Association of
Catholic Teachers, to other Officers of the Association and to the delegates
who will be attending the Conference.
The title of the Conference not only resonates with a central
concern among schools across the globe in the context of revitalising spiritual
values in a postmodern context but also with the latest document emanating from
the Congregation for Catholic Education, Educating
Today and Tomorrow, which focuses on the spiritual and theological
implications of Gravissimum Educationis
as the Catholic Church approaches the 50th Anniversary of this
landmark document.
Addressing the theme of spiritual poverty, Educating Together
suggests that: “If we want to avert a gradual impoverishment, Catholic schools
must be run by individuals and teams who are inspired by the Gospel, who have
been formed in Christian pedagogy, in tune with Catholic schools’ educational
project, and not by people who are prone to being seduced by fashionability, or
by what can become an easier sell, to put it bluntly.”
With the promise of the prayers of all at WUCT for the success
of the Conference.
Sincerely
Guy Bourdeaud’hui
Guy Bourdeaud’hui
President of WUCT/UMEC
