Happy Labour Day!

"Where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I among them." Today's gospel shows us that Jesus is present to also help guide the community through difficult decisions of accountability and peace making.
"Là où deux ou trois sont assemblés en mon Nom, Je suis au milieu d'eux." L'Évangile d'aujourd'hui nous montre que Jésus est présent pour aider aussi à guider la communauté à travers les décisions difficiles de responsabilité et de recherche de la paix.

September is the month we reflect on the Catholic Social Teaching principle of Human Dignity.
At Lakeland Catholic School Division, we believe every person is created in the image and likeness of God. This belief shapes how we welcome one another, build relationships, and create learning environments where every student is known, valued, and respected.
This month's Catholic Social Teaching reminds us:
Each person is sacred, made in God's image to know, love and serve Him & deserve to be respected.
As we begin a new school year, may we remember that every interaction is an opportunity to honour the dignity of others and reflect Christ's love in our words and actions.

A joyful first day for our Cubbers! 🐾
Smiles, excitement and plenty of first-day energy filled École Notre Dame Elementary School as our Cubbers returned for the 2026–2027 school year!
There were happy reunions, new faces, stories to share and lots of excitement as students settled in, explored their classrooms and enjoyed their first day of learning together.
May God bless our Cubbers, staff and families as we begin this new school year together. Welcome back, Cubbers!

Sunday Gospel: Matthew 16:21–27
In today's gospel, Jesus tells us that following him comes with expectations... surrendering personal desires, accepting suffering for His sake, and aligning our life with God's plan rather than worldly success.
Évangile du dimanche : Matthieu 16, 21–27
Dans l'Évangile d'aujourd'hui, Jésus nous dit que le suivre implique des exigences... renoncer à nos désirs personnels, accepter la souffrance pour son nom, et aligner notre vie sur le dessein de Dieu plutôt que sur la réussite terrestre.
