Bishop's Centenary College - St. Cecilia's Visit Summary 🏫

The Meet the Bishop Tour to secondary schools continued with a visit to Bishop’s Centenary College on Wednesday 26 November. As a project of the Anglican Youth & Young Adult Ministries, Bishop Claude Berkley has been visiting secondary schools in the Diocese, strengthening community, connecting and interacting with administrators, staff and students in our Anglican Secondary Schools. We are grateful to Mrs Loretta Davis, Principal, and her team for their kind hospitality to us on Wednesday. We also commend them for their faithfulness and hard work in building an increasingly strong team at Bishop’s Centenary College! 🙏

🔑 Key Takeaways from the Visit:

Reflecting on History & Mission: The Bishop reminded us that Bishop’s Centenary College was established to mark the 100th anniversary of the Diocese of Trinidad and Tobago (1872). Our core mission remains bringing all human beings into unity with God and with each other through education and formation.

- Commendation on Stewardship: Despite resource challenges, the Bishop highly commended the Board, Principal, Administration, Staff, and Students for their faithful stewardship and for "doing miracles" to get the job done.

- The Value of Education: Students were urged to reflect on their journey, make necessary adjustments, and remain open to revelation to truly understand the value of their education, which takes them "from the known to the unknown."

- Teachers as Nation Builders: The Bishop stressed that the work done by teachers is a sacred trust and vital to building the nation. It is a crucial contribution to good order and moulding young minds, embodying the mission of the Church.

- Prefectship & Leadership: Prefects were acknowledged for their role, which serves as an invaluable training opportunity in leadership, managing different temperaments, and dealing with others with perseverance and astuteness.

We met with all levels of staff and students and even had time for a school tour.

The Bishop ended the day by thanking all staff for their contribution to the Church's mission and encouraging them to persevere and remain faithful, even when facing challenges from the wider community.

It was a truly inspiring day! Let us continue to give our best and build on the legacy of our founders.

🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ 🚶🏿 🚶🏿 REPORT: Hundreds of Steps Taken for Peace on Saturday! 🙌🏿 🙌🏿🙏

What an overwhelming display of commitment, community, and grace we witnessed at the Walk for Peace this past Saturday, October 4, 2025!

Inspired by our theme, "Growing in Grace: Walking Humbly with our God," over 150 friends, families, and brothers and sisters in Christ laced up their shoes to walk not just for exercise, but for a greater purpose: peace and unity in our community and the world.

The atmosphere was electric—filled with quiet reflection, cheerful encouragement, and the shared vision that every single, humble step moves us closer to a more peaceful world. The walk was one done in faith as we held out even when the weather and some logistics threatened.

Thank you to every volunteer, every donor, and every single walker. You turned a simple Saturday walk into a powerful, public testament to the values of grace and humility.

Highlights of the Day:

Community Strength: Seeing generations walk side-by-side, from our youngest participants to our most seasoned supporters!
The Message: The signs and the prayers on the Feast Day of St Francis of Assisi who is associated with peace truly brought the "Growing in Grace" theme to life.

Happy birthday to the Church! Pentecost Sunday.



Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may be holy
Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work may be holy
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, to love what is holy
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend what is holy
Guard me, O Holy Spirit, that I then may be holy

(St Augustine of Hippo [AD 354-430])
