Catholic Education Week runs from May 6-10 and the Prince Albert Catholic School Division is planning plenty of activities to celebrate.
The theme this year is “We are Called to Love”. Education Director Lorel Trumier said the week helps students and staff recognize the world is in need of love and individuals can show their faith through their actions. Students in all Catholic divisions will take time to pray and celebrate Catholic education.
“It is coming up and we’re always looking forward to celebrate our Catholic Education Week,” Trumer said.

“It’s really the time that we get to celebrate our opportunity to share the gift of Catholic education, and so it focuses on what we do in our Catholic schools. Not every province nor every school, have the opportunity to have a faith dimension that’s shared, and so we get to celebrate in the special way.”
Weekly activities include prayers and liturgies. The division will also announce the winners of the 2024 Catholic Education Service Awards.
“There is an overall theme that’s ‘We are Called to Love’ and then there’s an individual thing for each day that we’re going to pray on and reflect upon,” Trumier said.
