Dear Parents,   

Catholic Education Week is on May 3rd to 8th. This year’s theme, “Igniting Hope” provides a wonderful opportunity as a Catholic community, to showcase and demonstrate the resilience and compassion that is borne out of our faith. Each day during Catholic Education Week, a new post will appear on the board website and shared via social media channels. This post will be an invitation for everyone to reach out to those around them with a message of hope. 

Monday - For the ones we love - send a message of hope to someone in your family.

Tuesday - For the ones who teach us - send a message of hope to your educator(s).

Wednesday - For leaders - send a message of hope to a leader in your community/world

(government leaders, school board leaders, your parish priest, Archbishop Prendergast, Pope Francis) 

Thursday - For those in need and those who care for them - send a message of hope to a nursing home, hospital, The Mission, Shepherds of Good Hope, frontline and healthcare workers.

Friday - For yourself - send yourself a message of hope - for today and the future.

Please join us in celebrating Catholic Education Week 2020. Everyone is invited to share photos and stories of how they are sharing, inspiring ... igniting hope around them by using the #ocsbHope hashtag on social media.
