Together in learning and faith
What a wonderful week we have had! The students were respectful and listened to the Gospel at Opening Mass on Thursday and filled with the light of Christ. Thank-you to all of the families that joined us. We not only shared this time with our school community but all of the Catholic schools in Fort Saskatchewan.
We are looking forward to Truth and Reconciliation Week and all of the activities that will help us understand that "Every Child Matters." We will honour and share important conversations including the truths of the Indigenous treaties, First Nation, Métis and Inuit land claims, and the residential schools system.
Every one of us has our own stories that we show up with every day. These stories shape us into the people we are today. Some stories are difficult, some joyful, some sad, but all important. Through relationships, we celebrate and honour our stories together, and grow in a community of God’s family where we can heal and love.
Let's journey together at OLA to make this year GLOW!
God Bless!
