October: The Month of the Most Holy Rosary
During October, the Catholic Church invites us to pray the Holy Rosary. This beautiful devotion draws us closer to Christ through the intercession of His Blessed Mother, guiding us in grace.

In September, our Lakeland Catholic schools spent time reflecting on the Catholic Social Teaching of Human Dignity—reminding us that every person is created in God’s image and deserves respect, care, and compassion.
As October begins, our focus turns to The Common Good. This teaching calls us to look beyond ourselves and work together so that every person has the chance to thrive.

Students & many families of Holy Family Catholic School gathered for Mass at Holy Spirit Ukrainian Catholic Church this morning with some grade 3 & 4 students sharing their talent of reading. The Gospel message today reminded us that Jesus always forgives & encourages us to learn from our mistakes so we can make better choices. Fr. Benji then visited the school to bless each classroom & share a meal with Principal, Mrs. Ollikka & Faith Lead, Ms. Campos while planning some Parish & School partnerships! We are truly blessed!

Today we celebrate the Feast of Saint Teresa of Calcutta, whose life reminds us that God’s presence can be found in simple, everyday acts. Her words, ‘Do small things with great love,’ will guide our faith journey from 2025–2029 as we live out this message in our schools and communities.

Labour Day 2025

Yesterday, every member of the Lakeland Catholic team took part in Pathways to Excellence — the first in a series of professional learning days planned for this school year.

This opening session brought together every staff member for a day of learning, collaboration, and faith-filled preparation, reflecting our commitment to excellence and our faith theme, small things done with great love.

With opportunities spanning instruction, technology, wellness, safety, and more, the day strengthened our shared dedication to creating caring, faith-filled, and engaging learning environments as we welcome students back to school tomorrow.

During our Faith Formation session, special guest presenter MacKenzie Newfeld offered a powerful reflection on weaving Catholic Social Teachings into learning.

She reminded us of the wonder and beauty of God’s creation and how our faith theme “Doing small things with great love” comes alive in our classrooms and in our call as a Catholic community of learners. MacKenzie shared that faith integration isn’t something we “tack on,” but rather an awakening of what is already there — an invitation to see the beauty, mystery, and meaning in even the smallest details of teaching and learning.

Her message left staff inspired to approach education through a lens of wonder, beauty, and love at the heart of Catholic education.
