Sabbath Week

Every Week 7 each term across schools in our Archdiocese we observe Sabbath Week. The term Sabbath comes from the seventh day of the week observed among Christians as a day of rest and worship. At St Joseph’s, we observe Sabbath Week as a staff, by not holding meetings and making more time for rest and worship. While in the busy life of a school there is little room for resting, this often means being able to slow down and have more time to be present for our families. In my family we are using this time to prepare for Father’s Day as my children spend time creating special gifts for their dad. How will you observe Sabbath week in your family?
