The CEC Logo

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.” – Matthew 7:7–8

How often have we read this verse and considered the possibilities that await us each time we open and close doors in our everyday lives? We pass through so many from the time we wake to the time we sleep, and countless more as we make our way from classrooms to meetings and even to and from the gates of our schools.

There is also a light that passes through from one space to the other, leading us from places of certainty to uncertainty, much like the stone that rolled away to reveal an empty tomb. The act of opening the door leads us to discover the mystery of God’s calling as it beckons us forward.

The design for the CEC logo uses the symbol of an opening door to reveal the light of our Godly encounters that await us on the other side.

The letter E which forms the door, also stands for Education, reminding us of the transformative power of our profession.

The glow that extends from the door moves in a forward direction, suggesting how our meeting will lead us to break new ground. The Cs on either side of the door also reinforce the change that will occur when we let God lead the way and open doors.

The CEC logo is designed by Mr Michael Ee, an Art educator with SJI.

The Catholic Education Conference 2023 is an invitation for participants to Grow in Faith and Synergise as a Community.

Inspired by the Word of God through the Eucharistic Celebration with Cardinal William Goh and led by Keynote Speaker Mr Lawrence Chong (CEO of Consulus), participants will be guided to centre their lives on Jesus, “and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His Purpose” (Romans 8:28).

Incorporating a range of activities and blending a number of learning modalities, it promises to be an enlightening, enriching and empowering experience!

9-Day Novena

The pre-CEC 9 day Novena helps to prepare participants spiritually for the Conference. This will be led by the various sponsoring authorities of our Catholic Schools. Join us in prayer as links become available as each day of the Novena approaches. Each 20-minute session will include an opening hymn, an opening prayer, a Scripture reading, a reading from the Founder of a Congregation, a reflection, a decade of the Rosary, a closing prayer, a closing hymn, and a Call to Synergy.
