Catholic Education Week

May 1-7 is Catholic Education Week in the Province of Ontario.  This year’s theme, Catholic Education: Celebrating the Spirit comes from St. Paul’s letter to the Romans where he writes, “All who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.” (Romans 8:14) St. Luke also refers to the Spirit when he writes, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.” (Lk 4:18) During this week, our schools will be celebrating the gift of Catholic Education with special prayers and presentations. 
Each day during the week has its own "sub-theme":

1. The Spirit of Hospitality
2. The Spirit of Understanding
3. The Spirit of Wisdom
4. The Spirit of Justice
5. The Spirit of Gratitude

On Thursday morning, May 5th, Holy Family School will join us for Eucharist, and on Thursday afternoon we will have 2 Liturgies with the Students and Staff of Pope John Paul II School celebrating the Beatification of Pope John Paul II this Sunday - May 1st.
We continue to pray for our Catholic schools, that they may be enlivened by God’s Spirit and help in the sacred work of “renewing the face of the earth.” (Psalm 104:30) 
Peace.
