On May 1, we marked Principal Appreciation Day—a time to recognize the work our principals do across Lakeland Catholic.
Our principals are entrusted with the care and direction of their school communities. They support staff, guide students, and help ensure each school is a place where learning, faith, and belonging are present every day.
Their work is thoughtful and constant–shaped by attention to detail, long hours, and a steady commitment to keeping their schools running smoothly and with purpose.
We are grateful for each of our principals and the excellence they bring to our schools. Thank you for your continued service to Lakeland Catholic.

With great joy, we celebrate five students from École Notre Dame High School who have completed their Sacraments of Initiation through the Order of Christian Initiation for Teens (OCIT): Kalen, Tennesse, Alexsis, Shannon, and Luc.
Surrounded by their families, teachers, and peers, these students celebrated this meaningful milestone at St. Louis Parish on April 16, with Fr. Rene Realuyo.
OCIT is a faith formation program that supports students in Grades 9–12 as they prepare for Baptism, Confirmation, and First Holy Communion—guiding them as they take this important step in their faith journey.
We welcome these students into the full life of the Catholic Church community and pray for their continued spiritual growth. May the Holy Spirit guide and strengthen them as they live out their calling as disciples of Christ.

Lakeland Catholic is proud to celebrate Braelan and our continued partnership with MPI.
Through the Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP), Braelan has become a valued member of the MPI welding shop since 2024. His strong work ethic, attention to detail, and willingness to help wherever needed have made him an asset to the team.
Braelan plays an important role in daily operations—assisting with welding projects, organizing inventory, and maintaining a clean and safe workspace. He consistently takes initiative, including with the tasks that often go unnoticed.
Throughout his apprenticeship, Braelan has shown meaningful growth in both his skills and knowledge of the welding trade. His dedication and positive attitude continue to set him up for success in the skilled trades.
We are proud to see Braelan thriving through RAP and grateful to MPI for supporting and mentoring the next generation of tradespeople.
👏 Well done, Braelan!
