Catholic Education Week – Wednesday May 6/26

Wednesday — Christ Saves You

Dear St. Kateri Families, 

As we continue to celebrate this special week, we would like to invite you to join in with our school, board and the broader community of Catholic Education and celebrate Mass with us today.

Community Activity: Province Wide Mass @ 11 am., please use the following link to access the mass from St. Michael’s Cathedral.

Scripture Reading:
📖 Romans 8:1 — “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus…” This verse reminds us that when we follow Jesus, we are forgiven and loved, no matter our mistakes. God gives us a fresh start and encourages us to live with hope, kindness, and faith. Families can practice this by forgiving one another and helping each other grow closer to God every day.

 

Family Activity:
🙏 Family blessing night: each person names something they want Jesus to help them with and the family prays together.
