Catholic Education Sunday - November 4th

In Alberta, the yearly celebration of Catholic Education Sunday is an opportunity for Catholic schools and our faith  communities to promote their important and distinctive mission.

In keeping with the theme for this year’s Synod of Bishops: Young People, the Faith and Vocational Discernment, the theme for this Catholic Education Sunday is Rejoice and Be Glad. Our theme is further inspired by Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation and the call to holiness. It highlights the important role that our schools play in nurturing the call to holiness for our children and youth. Our schools also help students know Christ through religious education, prayer, and a safe, caring school community that encourages them to discern their vocations. Pope Francis reminds young people that Jesus looks to them and invites them to journey with him. They are urged to be open to God’s plan in becoming joyful disciples.
