Growing Together @ STL

In this week's Gospel, Jesus tells Simon Peter to “put out into deep water and let down the nets for a catch” after an exhausting night of catching nothing. Despite his doubts, Peter trusts Jesus—and the result is an overwhelming catch. In the disciples, we see ordinary people with their own struggles and imperfections, yet Jesus chose them, transforming their gifts to lead others to Him.

As parents, we pour our hearts into raising our children, guiding them with love, patience, and hope.

We may not always see the fruits of our efforts right away, but God is at work through us, shaping our children in ways we can’t always see.

Thank you for all you do to nurture your child’s heart, rooted in Christ’s love.

Blessings,

Mrs. Gail Greene

Each year we collaboratively build a plan to follow for the year, linked to our four pillars. St. Luke's Assurance Plan is on our school website linked here for your convenience. It highlights what we are planning to do this year based on collaboration from last year.

Our weekly newsletter is organized by the four pillars of our Assurance plan, and serves as weekly evidence of the work we are doing to support and engage students, staff and our community.

GrACE's mision is to inspire, invigorate and embolden the spirit of Catholic education in order to unite, engage, educate and communicate with one voice. They are calling on our community to have one or two representatives to join GrACE and be a conduit between that committee and our amazing school. It's a great way to know what's happening with Catholic Education in EICS, Alberta and beyond, connect with other Faith-filled parents and advocate for meaningful opportunities for our precious children.

Please reach out to Mme Gravelle at the school or to your school council at stlukeparentcouncileics@gmail.com
