The event was led by Sr Mary Benedicta RSM, Lay Co-ordinator for the Archdiocese. She said: “The lay ministers grew in collegiality and friendship, sharing ideas about their schools, their faith, and building a community together in their special ministry at our Catholic secondary schools.”

Lay Ministers help spread the good news of Jesus Christ at Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese by working with school chaplains to support the faith journey of students and staff.
