This Sunday in Lac La Biche, our staff had the privilege of taking part in all the ministries during Mass as we were welcomed into the St. Catherine’s Parish community.

Fr. Anselmo offered a blessing over our mission as Catholic educators, reminding us of the importance of the small things we do with great love each day.

Light of Christ Catholic School is grateful for this opportunity to share in faith and service together.

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.

Use handrails and take five big steps away after exiting

Stay seated and keep aisles clear on the bus

Drivers: It’s illegal to pass a bus with flashing red lights | Be prepared to stop when you see the amber lights

Let’s work together to keep students safe!

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.
