This week Fr James Lewis and I attended a meeting organised by the Catholic Academies and Schools Office (CASO) of the Diocese of Portsmouth.  Headteachers and Clergy from all across the Diocese came together to discuss how homes, schools and parishes can work in closer union to share the faith and promote the spiritual formation not just of our children and young people, but whole families as well.  There were presentations on best practice from schools and parishes, as well as a chance to discuss initiatives with schools and parish priests both in our pastoral area and the greater Portsmouth area.  There was an abundance of ideas, so there is a lot to digest from the day, but over the coming months and years we hope to be able to strengthen still further the links between our schools and parishes in and around Waterlooville.
