Dear Rev Fathers, head teacher colleagues, parents and friends of SCES,
 
Could I please ask for your assistance in publicising our annual gathering for parents which will take place on the 18 ^th August in St. Charles’ Parish, Paisley. (Timetable, flyer and poster attached)
 
This gathering is organised and run by the Scottish Catholic Education Service Parent Group.  In this historic year, as we mark the centenary of our Catholic schools being run in partnership with local government, and when we see the introduction of a new Education Bill into law, it is more important than ever to promote the role of parents as the first educators of their children. 
 
This one day event gathers parents from across all of our Dioceses and offers support, encouragement and the opportunity to talk with other parents about
the challenges and joys of sharing faith with children and young people in today’s world.  
 
The event is free, but in order to organise catering and resources we would ask that you book a place by phoning SCES on 0141 556 4727 OR emailing parents@sces.uk.com
 
We look forward to seeing you on the 18 ^th August.
With warmest regards,
Barbara
