Catholic Education Sunday

11/1/2015

Comments

 
​Each year, Catholics all over the world set aside a special day of worship to give thanks and to celebrate the gift of Catholic education.  November 1, 2015 has been designated by the Catholic Bishops of Alberta and the Northwest Territories as Catholic Education Sunday.  Our theme for this year, Our Schools as Islands of Mercy, is a reference to Pope Francis’ 2015 Lenten message where he expressed: “How greatly I desire that all those places where the Church is present, especially our parishes and our communities, may become islands of mercy in the mist of the sea of indifference!”  Our schools are truly a place of encounter with Christ; they are truly a place where the Church is present.  Thank you to each and every one of you for bringing this vision to life.  Let us all take the time on this special day to give thanks for the abundance that Catholic education brings to our students as they learn, to our staff as they live out their vocation, and to our society as we help to build the Kingdom of God!

​Join us in making every day a celebration of Catholic education!
