During the week of May 2 to May 7, 2021, the Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) joins school boards in celebrating the significant contributions that Catholic education has made to our community and across the province of Ontario!
The province-wide theme of this year’s Catholic Education Week is Nurturing Hope, reminding us that our Catholic schools exist to inspire students to cultivate their faith; so that they may prosper in hope by our God, the creator of the earth.
The five sub-themes for Catholic Education Week are:
Monday: Preparing the Earth
Tuesday: Sowing Seeds of Gratitude
Wednesday: Cultivating Relationships
Thursday: Harvesting New Fruit
Friday: Marvelling in Wonder
