Each month a Scripture passage is offered as a guide and inspiration for daily living. This commentary, called the Word of Life, is translated into 96 languages and dialects and reaches several million people worldwide through print, radio, television and the Internet.

Mr Kevin McKeague, headmaster of St James Primary School and Mr Frazer Bailey, headmaster of Whitehouse Primary School were part of a group from Ireland who participated in “Learning Fraternity” an education conference held in early September in Castelgandolfo.
