My dear collaborators in the field of education,
Sub: Formation of the Diocesan Board of Education
I trust you are well and busy settling down into the routine of a new academic year. You have my best wishes and prayers as you go about your important work of training and nourishing young minds. Your efforts will surely bear abundant fruit in the months and years ahead.
In the midst of the School ministry, I am sure you have some challenging situations and at times, you may feel alone. Keeping this in mind, I have a strong desire to form the Nashik Diocesan Board of Education. This body will give us an opportunity to share how we have introduced best practices in education, responded to various Government and statutory requirements, etc. It will also encourage greater collaboration between Catholic Schools across our Diocese. We can plan to have external Resource Persons who can guide and enlighten us on various topics e.g. the NEP and its impact on our Schools, etc.
At the Priests’ Council meeting held on June 27, 2024, the members proposed Fr Dominic Rosario, Parish Priest, St Teresa Church, Harigaon as the Coordinator of the Education Committee. On behalf of Fr Dominic, I am writing to invite you to the first meeting of the Diocesan Board of Education to be held at the Nashik Social Service Centre Hall, in the Bishop’s House compound on Wednesday, October 02, 2024 from 10.30 a.m. to 100 p.m. followed by lunch. I have invited Fr Francis Swamy SJ to be the Resource Person who will speak to us from 11.00 a.m. to 12.00 noon. May I request you to block the date and attend. Closer to the date of the meeting, Fr Dominic Rosario will send you a message to remind you of the meeting.
Thank you for all the good work you are doing and may the Good Lord bless you always.
Yours in Christ,
+Barthol Barretto Bishop, Diocese of Nashik
