Below is the official website for the community of Taizé. Please take a look at it. It has a lot of useful information for both Junior and Leaving Certificate religion, as well as for anyone thinking of having a Taizé ceremony in their school.
More on Taizé to follow soon.
As part of the Junior Cert Religion Syllabus, all third years will be visiting the Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland.
In addition to the foundations of Christianity, Christian Communities of Faith, the Expression of Faith and the Moral Challenge, the study of other Major World Religions is part of the course. Therefore, having studied Islam in second year, the Junior Certs will have a tour of the mosque in Clonskeagh and gain an insight into Islamic beliefs and practices.
3A1 and 3A2 are scheduled for this trip on Tuesday the 29th November – leaving school at about 12 noon and returning at about 4pm. We look forward to this visit as a step towards tolerance and respect between members of different faiths.
