Wishing all our families a safe and restful Labour Day from Lakeland Catholic Schools!
See you tomorrow!
“Whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.”
— 1 Corinthians 10:31

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.

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.

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
