Lakeland Catholic support staff came together for a professional learning session on Understanding the Change Process.
The session explored change through both individual and organizational lenses, emphasizing how faith, collaboration, and compassion guide growth within our schools.
Through reflection and shared learning, staff reaffirmed that positive change strengthens our ability to serve Lakeland Catholic's students — and one another — with grace and purpose as we prepare for their return.
📘 💙Catholic Education Sunday
Today, we celebrate the gift of Catholic education, a place where faith and learning are anchored in Christ. Guided by His light, our schools are communities where hope is nurtured, knowledge is strengthened, and every child is seen as a precious creation of God.
“We have this hope, a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters the inner shrine behind the curtain.”
— Hebrews 6:18-19
As we reflect on this year’s provincial Catholic Education Sunday and Catholic education week theme, Anchored in Christ: A Beacon of Hope, we give thanks for the students, families, educators, and parish partners who journey together in faith, keeping our Catholic schools a radiant witness of God’s love!
We invite you to read this year’s special Pastoral Letters from the Catholic Bishops of Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and the Yukon, reflecting on the gift of Catholic education. Please note that Catholic Education Week has been postponed to May 9–16, 2026.
