🌿 Word of the Week: Encounter

An encounter is a personal meeting with another person. Every day, we have opportunities to encounter friends, peers, staff, visitors and members of our wider community – some for the first time, and others we have known for years.

As a Catholic community, we are also reminded that we can encounter God through His creation and the beauty of the natural world. 🌿

Let us value every encounter as an opportunity to connect, learn and grow together.
