When it all began . . .

In 2006 the seated archbishop, the Most Rev Lawrence Burke, SJ, with Mrs Marjoire Hobbs took on the task of reclaiming our schools. That is to: re-establish a Catholic ethos in those denominational schools under the auspices of the Archdiocese of Kingston. The process began with a personal visit to every all age, prep and primary school in the archdiocese. This process led to deanery meetings with the pastor, principal and board chair of each school to review and discuss the results of the individual school interviews. This led to a series of meetings that brought us to the realization that the first step to reclaiming our schools was - getting committed men and women for our local churches into the school to develop a ministry of presence.
