Sunday Gospel - Today's gospel speaks of Jesus who has descended from heaven and has been lifted up. That God gave us His only so that we may have eternal life. What does that mean...that all who believe in Him will not perish but have eternal life. To have faith and believe, we shall all be saved.

Évangile du dimanche - L'Évangile d'aujourd'hui parle de Jésus qui est descendu du ciel et qui a été élevé. Dieu nous a donné son Fils unique afin que nous ayons la vie éternelle. Qu'est-ce que cela signifie ? Que tous ceux qui croient en lui ne périront pas, mais auront la vie éternelle. Si nous avons la foi et croyons, nous serons tous sauvés.

Sunday Gospel: Jesus asks us to focus our lives around Him. He asks us to take up our cross, and make a commitment to prioritize His will above our own desires and worldly possessions. To be His disciple and to live a life pleasing to Him.

Évangile du dimanche : Jésus nous demande de centrer notre vie sur lui. Il nous demande de porter notre croix et de nous engager à faire passer sa volonté avant nos propres désirs et nos biens matériels. D'être ses disciples et de mener une vie qui lui plaise.

We are getting ready for the Terry Fox Run. Will we beat our last year fundraising amount raised? Who will get a pie in the face? So many questions.....

Today we celebrate the Feast of Saint Teresa of Calcutta, whose life reminds us that God’s presence can be found in simple, everyday acts. Her words, ‘Do small things with great love,’ will guide our faith journey from 2025–2029 as we live out this message in our schools and communities.

We can’t believe the first day of school was already a week ago! École Notre Dame Elementary was filled with smiles and excitement.

Superintendent Sheldon Germain and Deputy Superintendent Jody Seymour joined us on the first day, offering blessings for a wonderful year ahead.

Our new faith theme, “Doing Small Things with Great Love,” was already shining through in the kindness and happiness of our students. What a beautiful way to begin the year!

Use handrails and take five big steps away after exiting

Stay seated and keep aisles clear on the bus

Drivers: It’s illegal to pass a bus with flashing red lights | Be prepared to stop when you see the amber lights

What a fantastic evening at our ÉNDE Open House! 🎒 Families had the chance to meet teachers, drop off supplies, and connect before the first day of school. A huge thank you to the Bonnyville Regional Fire Department (BRFA) for bringing the BBQ and grilling up delicious hot dogs for everyone to enjoy!

It was wonderful to see our ENDE community come together to kick off the new school year!

Yesterday, every member of the Lakeland Catholic team took part in Pathways to Excellence — the first in a series of professional learning days planned for this school year.

This opening session brought together every staff member for a day of learning, collaboration, and faith-filled preparation, reflecting our commitment to excellence and our faith theme, small things done with great love.

With opportunities spanning instruction, technology, wellness, safety, and more, the day strengthened our shared dedication to creating caring, faith-filled, and engaging learning environments as we welcome students back to school tomorrow.

During our Faith Formation session, special guest presenter MacKenzie Newfeld offered a powerful reflection on weaving Catholic Social Teachings into learning.

She reminded us of the wonder and beauty of God’s creation and how our faith theme “Doing small things with great love” comes alive in our classrooms and in our call as a Catholic community of learners. MacKenzie shared that faith integration isn’t something we “tack on,” but rather an awakening of what is already there — an invitation to see the beauty, mystery, and meaning in even the smallest details of teaching and learning.

Her message left staff inspired to approach education through a lens of wonder, beauty, and love at the heart of Catholic education.
