With some of Australia’s most talented people working in ministry, GPBS can provide you with everything you need through our online resources package for Catholic schools. Abounding with relevant, contemporary and creative resources that speak to the hearts and minds of people everywhere, the GPBS writing team links faith, liturgy and life through our resources.
“It’s what we trust in but don’t yet see that keeps us going.”
(2 Corinthians 5:7)
GPBS is more than a website or media hub. GPBS is your go-to space for connecting students and staff in Catholic schools through relevant faith experiences and engaging liturgy that intersects with our day-to-day human encounters.
At its core, GPBS is all about accompanying Catholic schools as they cultivate rich experiences of faith that speak to the contemporary world. With an annual online subscription package, you can access daily, weekly, seasonal and annual prayer and liturgical resources and multimedia.
Additionally, the GPBS Mission & Ministry Team can work directly with your school community to facilitate student and staff retreats, workshops, leadership formation and professional learning opportunities that foster the ability in your team to do the same.
Jesus continued, "Listen carefully: Unless a grain of wheat is buried in the ground, dead to the world, it is never any more than a grain of wheat. But if it is buried, it sprouts and reproduces itself many times over. In the same way, anyone who holds on to life just as it is destroys that life. But if you let it go, reckless in your love, you'll have it forever, real and eternal."
- John 12: 24 - 25
Eat whatever you want for Easter, the sacrifice is not in the stomach, but in the heart. People refrain from eating meat, but don't talk to their siblings or relatives, don't visit their parents or bother them or attend to them. They don't share food with the needy, forbid children to see their father or mother, forbid grandparents to see their grandchildren, criticise other people's lives, beat their wife, etc. A good barbeque or beef stew won't make you a bad person, just like a fish fillet won't turn you into a saint. Better to seek to have a deeper relationship with God through better treatment of others let's be less arrogant and more humble at heart.
- Pope Francis, Lenten Message, February 2024
