Alberta-NWT Bishops share letter for Catholic Education Week
The Catholic Bishops of Alberta and the Northwest Territories have penned a joint letter reflecting on the gift of Catholic education in Alberta. This year, Catholic Education Week is celebrated from October 21st-25th, and will be commemorated with a multitude of events in local Catholic schools and parishes.
“Among the many beautiful gifts flowing to us from the font of God’s providential love is that of our Catholic schools,” the bishops state in their joint letter. “At their centre stands the person of Jesus Christ, who seeks a personal and life transforming encounter with each of the students. From our knowledge and love of Christ arises an unshakeable hope that fills us with peace and joy.”
