Year 12 Retreat – Sr Clare Crockett: All or Nothing!
Year 12 students at Assumption Grammar School recently enjoyed an inspiring retreat centred on the life and remarkable faith journey of Sr Clare Crockett, a young woman from Derry whose story continues to inspire people across the world.
Under the theme “All or Nothing!”, students explored Sr Clare’s extraordinary transformation from a young aspiring actress with dreams of fame to a religious sister who dedicated her life completely to God.
A particular highlight of the day was the visit of four Sisters from the Servant Sisters of the Home of the Mother, the religious community to which Sr Clare belonged. The Sisters shared their personal experiences of religious life, their spirituality and the joy they have discovered in following Christ.
Through prayer, reflection, discussion and engaging activities, students were encouraged to consider what brings true happiness, the importance of faith and the courage to respond generously to God's call.
The retreat was a wonderful opportunity for our Year 12 students to reflect on their own lives and aspirations, inspired by Sr Clare's powerful message of living life wholeheartedly for God.
