A number of Principals and leaders from across the DOBCEL community are currently in Ireland on a Spiritual Heritage Pilgrimage.

The pilgrimage provides an important opportunity for the leaders to understand more deeply the profound influence of the Irish religious orders whose charisms form the foundations of our distinctly Catholic education to this day.

Some of the locations visited include the Chapel of Loreto House (Rathfarnham) Mercy International Centre and gravesite of Catherine McAuley (Dublin), and St Brigid’s Well, Kildare.

Reports suggest the pilgrims are having an enriching and enjoyable experience and looking forward to sharing stories and inspiration with their school communities on return.
