Catholic Education Week
Dear St Brendan families,
From October 17-23, we celebrate the gift of Catholic Education and the community it creates. Catholic Education Week is a time to root ourselves in Christ and to honour the sacred partnership that helps form the minds and hearts of our children.
This year’s theme, The Power of the Holy Spirit, reminds us that God's presence is at work in our Catholic schools, guiding and strengthening us as we help our students grow in faith and discover their God-given talents.
Catholic Education Sunday on October 18
As a reminder, we hope you will join us for Catholic Education Sunday Mass on Sunday, October 18, at (insert name of parish) beginning at (insert time). This special day brings together home, school, and parish, reminding us that we share in the sacred responsibility of nurturing our children in mind, body, and spirit.
Wear Blue on Thursday, October 22
You are also encouraged to wear blue on Thursday, October 22 to celebrate Catholic education. Blue is a powerful symbol of constancy, fidelity, genuineness, and aspiration. It also holds a special connection to the Blessed Virgin Mary, making it a fitting choice during October, the month of the rosary.
Thank you for your support of Catholic education and choosing Edmonton Catholic Schools. We are honoured that you have entrusted us with providing a Catholic education for your family.
Sincerely,
Gosia Beringer
Say Cheese!
Your child should have come home with their picture proof for you to order school photos, if you would like! Retakes will be on November 3 for the whole school.
