January 31 to February 6, 2021
On Sunday, January 31, we begin observance of Catholic Schools’ Week across the province of British Columbia. This year’s theme is Walk With Jesus Our Living Hope and together, with over 22,000 students enrolled in 79 Catholic schools throughout the province, we celebrate the ways Catholic schools create environments where our Catholic story is shared and celebrated.
The Nelson Diocese currently enrolls 1162 students in 7 schools located in Penticton, West Kelowna, Kelowna, Trail, Nelson, and Cranbrook. During this special week student learning will be highlighted, our many accomplishments will be celebrated, and we will enjoy gathering to honor all those staff members, parents, Council and Parent Group members, and pastors, who have contributed to our schools’ level of excellence. These activities will indeed look somewhat different than in past years due to the COVID-19 restrictions. To see what we have planned this week, check out the news on our web site.
Our sincere thanks are extended to the many parishioners throughout the diocese for their ongoing support of Catholic Education through volunteer activities, donations, financial assistance. We continue to ask for your prayers for our schools, our parishes, and our Diocese. Feel free to visit the Nelson Diocesan Schools’ website for more information about the schools of the diocese (www.cisnd.ca).
Join Holy Cross School on February 4th at 9am for a Holy Mass to be celebrated by Bishop Gregory Bittman.
Afterward, Holy Communion will be distributed in St. Ann’s Parking Lot.
