A Diocesan Bible has been developed for students throughout the diocese and especially for Catholic Education, Diocese of Bathurst.
The Bible will be presented to all Year 5 students, in preparation for their Confirmation, which may be in Year 5 or Year 6. This Bible uses contemporary English, suitable for young people, with a custom design featuring Bishop Michael McKenna’s crest and the CEDB logo and containing an introduction by the Bishop and the Executive Director of Schools as well as a space for further learning with links and resources.
We hope the presentation of these Bibles to our young people will deepen each student’s relationship with God and further enrich their journey in faith and in Catholic Education.
