WHY SEND THE WEDNESDAY WORD THROUGH SCHOOL?
The Wednesday Word is a powerful and effective way to enhance the home, school and parish partnership. This family friendly Gospel resource is offered to families as a gift. There is no obligation for them to use it. In this way the Word will be sent out, and (as in the Parable of the Sower and the Seed) some will respond to it immediately and some will not. Yet the Word will be present in every home of the families connected with our schools, and the opportunity will be there for all of them to take part in the Family Time together. Many parents choose a Catholic school for their children because they know that the Catholic ethos provides a firm foundation for life, and simply reading The Wednesday Word will help them to learn more about the life and faith around which our schools are built. We have even found, during trialling, that families of other faiths have found something of interest in The Wednesday Word Family Time.
