Staff from across systemic and congregational schools in the Diocese of Wollongong were presented with Certificates of Service at a mass and presentation ceremony recently held in Wollongong. At a special mass at the St Francis Xavier Cathedral on Wednesday May 19, Bishop Peter Ingham spoke of the contribution made by dedicated staff in our schools over a minimum of 25 years service. This contribution has helped to shape the lives of thousands of young people. Director of Schools, Gregory B Whitby, congratulated staff for their ‘vocation, dedication and service.’ In recognising the 42 staff who qualified this year and the 37 who were able to be present on the night, Mr Whitby spoke of the role that each of them played in the continuing story of Catholic Education. ‘You have built on the foundation of the sacrifices of pioneers, religious and lay, who established schools and brought awareness to the young of their inherited faith and Catholic culture and of their potential as educated citizens.’ He thanked each and every one of the recipients for the work they had done in the evangelising mission of the Church. Special mention was made on the night of Father Terry Herbert MSC who has 34 years of service in Catholic Education. Among those presented were fifteen class teachers, eleven coordinators, four assistant principals, three librarians, one library support worker, one school chaplain, three principals, one Head of Cluster and Mr Whitby himself as Director of Schools.
