Hope Shines Bright At Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School

This year, the Catholic community is joyfully celebrating the Year of Jubilee: Pilgrims of Hope—a time to reflect on the shared journey of faith and the hope that lights the way forward.

As part of this special celebration, Townsville Catholic Education invited students from across the diocese—stretching from Ingham to Mount Isa, Townsville to Charters Towers, and every community in between—to create an artwork that captures the true essence of Hope.

Year 6 students from Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School embraced the challenge with enthusiasm and heartfelt reflection. They spent time exploring what hope means to them—in their faith, friendships, community, and dreams for the future.

The result is a stunning collection of artworks that are not only visually striking but deeply meaningful. Each piece tells its own powerful story of resilience, faith, and optimism.

The school community is incredibly proud of the students' creativity, insight, and the thoughtful way they have brought the theme of Hope to life. These artworks stand as a testament to the enduring strength of young voices and a reminder that—even in uncertain times—hope continues to guide, uplift, and inspire.

Here are some of the finalists from Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School proudly showing their artworks that represent the Pilgrims of Hope.
