2025 College Theme - PILGRIMS OF HOPE
The Year 2025 marks a Jubilee Year for the Catholic Church, with the theme “Pilgrims of Hope” chosen by Pope Francis. This significant year of grace and renewal will be celebrated universally across Notre Dame College, Catholic Education Sandhurst, and the Marist community.
What is a Jubilee Year?
A Jubilee is a special year of grace, conversion, and renewal in the Church, traditionally observed every 25 years or as called by the Pope. It is a time of deep prayer, pilgrimage, and sacramental repentance.
The Jubilee Year invites us to embrace holiness in our lives and to become living witnesses of God’s boundless mercy in the world.
The aim of a Jubilee year is to renew the hope that comes from Christ, encouraging a personal and communal journey toward God. By strengthening our relationship with God and others, we are inspired to live as signs of hope in a world that longs for renewal and peace.
As 'Pilgrims of Hope', let us journey together in faith as a College community, inspired by the grace of this Jubilee Year. May this time of renewal strengthen us to share the message of hope and joy with everyone we meet.

CDS for Caritas
Did you know Notre Dame College is using funds raised from its CDS collections to fundraise for Caritas Australia … and that you can do the same?
For 60 years, Caritas Australia has been working with vulnerable communities affected by natural disasters, conflict, and displacement to make huge differences in the lives of our world’s most at risk people.
What seems like small change to us, can be transformational for many.
To contribute to our CDS for Caritas fundraising campaign, all you need to do is scan the barcode on the flyer when dropping off your containers at the Foott Waste CDS Depot, 10 Carroll Rd, Shepparton East.
7Our little bit can go a very long way.
