As we prepare to cross the threshold into the New Millennium we wish to convey our heartfelt thanks for the privilege it has been for us to serve the school communities of the diocese over the past number of years. A sincere word of thanks for the welcome and hospitality which we have experienced on our visits to so many of the schools.

It is in this spirit of gratitude that we offer these resources to assist you in celebrating the Great Jubilee Year 2000 with the children in your care. We hope you will enjoy using these resources as much as we have enjoyed preparing them. May they help you to share the presence, hope, and joy of Christ who "is the same yesterday, and today and forever" as the main theme of the Jubilee Year reminds us.
With every good wish and blessing on your life in the years ahead.

From the introduction to "Jubilee Themes For Primary Schools Part 1", which is a very beautiful resource book which has been sent to schools.

A version as gaelge is also available and has been sent to Irish speaking schools in the diocese.
