This week students, parents, teachers, staff and communities across Ontario will be celebrating the significant contribution that Catholic education has made to life in this province. New this year will be the launch of Catholic Student Youth Day in Toronto on May 8th at St. Paul's Basilica and the WE Global Learning Centre at 339 Queen St E.
The 2018 theme for Catholic Education Week is Renewing the Promise and throughout the week Catholic schools will be highlighting how the integration of faith into all aspects of learning nourishes the development of the whole child - mind, body and spirit - and brings to light the innate goodness and potential in each person.
Unique and locally themed activities will be happening in the more than 1500 Catholic schools across Ontario. Activities include Indigenous traditional celebrations, community wide prayer services, charitable activities serving the most vulnerable, and elementary school presentations.
