Peter Woods’ first book, Waves of Grace - Evangelisation in Catholic Schools, was launched by Fr Friedrich Bechina, former Undersecretary of the Vatican Congregation for Catholic Education at the Holy (2013 - 2022). The book explores how the Catholic Church can connect powerfully with young people through the evangelising mission of the Catholic school. The understanding, commitment, and intentional focus of educators in this mission is critical. Their task is one of proclaiming Jesus through the transforming work of the Spirit. Responding to this grace opens the ‘door of faith’ for young people and ushers in a lifelong journey of discipleship and relationship.
