Dear GrACE Apostles,

Catholic Education Sunday and Week (October 19-25, 2024) has arrived, and GrACE is excited to introduce the new GrACE Champions Template via Google Slides, which schools, local GrACE committees, and parishes can also download as a PowerPoint.

The purpose of the GrACE Champions Template is to provide a 1-page format that school districts, local GrACE committees, and parishes can use to celebrate the gift of publicly funded Catholic education throughout Alberta and beyond.

Your groups can save the completed template as a PDF to celebrate Catholic education, while GrACE will share the same information in its monthly newsletter and on other platforms.

When you open the link to the template, instructions will appear directly on the slide:

1. Add a title for the article you would like to submit.
2. Replace the text in the text box with your article (100-150 words is typical).
3. Add 3-4 images to the slide.
4. Rearrange the elements to suit the size and shape of your photos.
5. Download your PDF for use by the district, local committee, or parish.

You can edit the document directly using the links below:

• Option 1: Using Google Slides: [Insert Link]
• Option 2: Downloading and Using PowerPoint: [Insert Link]

Thank you for celebrating Catholic education with us and for your continued support of GrACE!

Blessings and much love.

'Jesus, I trust in You'!
