SKTA Catholic Education Week May 3 to May 8, 2026
Dear St. Kateri Tekakwitha CES Families,
🌿 Catholic Education Week Begins – A Journey of Hope 🌿
“As God who called you is holy, be holy yourselves.”
(1 Peter 1:15–16)
Today marks the beginning of a very special time in our school and parish community—Catholic Education Week. This celebration reminds us of the deep connection between our Catholic schools and our local parishes, and the shared role we all play in nurturing faith in our children.
This year’s theme, “Catholic Education: Pilgrims of Hope: On the Path to Holiness,” invites us to walk together in faith, guided by hope, love, and service. Each day is an opportunity to reflect on how we live out these values in our classrooms, our homes, and our community.
✨ Throughout the week, we are called to:
-
Lead with kindness, compassion, and unity
-
Encourage our students to be people of faith and action
-
Celebrate the meaningful impact of Catholic education in shaping hearts and minds
As a community, we continue to believe in the power of our shared mission—to inspire young people who bring hope, healing, and light into the world.
🎶 We invite families to take a moment together to listen to this year’s theme song, “Pilgrims of Hope,” and begin reflecting on what this journey means for you.
🙏 Catholic Education Week Prayer
God of grace and love,
Strengthen and sustain us as we continue to journey as pilgrims of hope.
Guide us on the path to holiness with the light of your love.
Inspire us to serve joyfully in the love of Christ through the beautiful examples of the saints.
As we journey together in faith, may we experience the peace of Christ through the presence of one another.
We pray that all young people in our Catholic schools may believe and be empowered by these Gospel truths:
đź’› God loves you!
✝️ Christ saves you!
🕊️ The Holy Spirit lives in you!
Amen.
🙏 Prière pour la semaine de l’éducation catholique
Dieu d’amour et de grâce,
Aide-nous à continuer notre chemin comme de petits pèlerins de l’espérance.
Montre-nous le chemin de la sainteté avec la lumière de ton amour.
Inspire-nous à servir avec joie, comme le Christ, en suivant l’exemple des saints.
Alors que nous cheminons ensemble, que nous puissions ressentir la paix du Christ grâce aux autres autour de nous.
Nous prions pour que tous les jeunes de nos Ă©coles catholiques croient et se rappellent ces messages importants :
💛 Dieu t’aime !
✝️ Le Christ te sauve !
🕊️ L’Esprit Saint vit en toi !
Amen.
We look forward to celebrating this meaningful week together as a faith-filled community. Thank you for the role you play each day in bringing our Catholic identity to life.
Together, we walk as Pilgrims of Hope.
Yours In Catholic Education,
Marc Caruso
