Blessed Beginnings in Waskatenau
Today marked a joyful milestone as we gathered to bless the land and break ground for the new Holy Family Catholic School.
We are especially grateful to Minister Demetrios Nicolaides, MLA Glenn van Dijken, Bishop Gary Franken, Alberta Infrastructure, our municipal leaders, the Board of Trustees, ACSTA, and Lakeland Catholic’s senior leadership. Your support and advocacy have laid the foundation for a future where Catholic education continues to grow in strength, guided by faith and grounded in hope for generations to come.
We also extend gratitude to the many families and community members who joined us. Your presence and continued encouragement reflect the unity and shared purpose that sustain Catholic education in our rural communities.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his steadfast love endures forever.
- Psalm 107:1
