Faith & Catholic Identity
As a key ministry of parishes across our diocese, we encourage and support parents in their responsibility for the faith formation of their children. This formation is supported by prayer and opportunities to participate in the life, mission and liturgy of the broader Catholic community.
St Bede's Community
Our community is grounded in a collaborative partnership between staff, parents and carers and our school and parish community.
