What is Catholic Education all about?

Thank God for the gift of Catholic Education! At a time when Catholic beliefs are not culturally acceptable, we have an incredible gift and opportunity in our hands. During the first week of May every year we celebrate Catholic Education, and enjoy many activities as part of the celebration. We start off the week with an opening Mass in Kemptville with students and teachers from every school in the school board. We are blessed to enjoy a special mass with our parish priest from Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Parish, celebrating the gift of Catholic Education as a school community.

The march for life is an opportunity to raise our hearts and our voices for the rights of all human beings regardless of their age or health, celebrating the dignity of each and every human being. But its special focus is the rights of the unborn. Taking part in this public demonstration is a way of standing up for the rights of those who are not able to stand for themselves—and it is a lot of fun and a rare opportunity!
