CATHOLIC EDUCATION WEEK
MAY 2nd TO MAY 7TH, 2010

“CATHOLIC EDUCATION: REJOICING IN HOPE”

The Ontario Association of Parents in Catholic Education join with our Catholic partners and all of Ontario’s publicly funded Catholic School Boards in “Rejoicing in Hope” marking Catholic Education Week!

It is indeed hopeful for all as we witness the great things that happen every day in our Catholic schools. It is indeed rejoicing when we witness how Catholic schools welcome parents as partners in the multi- faceted work that takes place in delivering a Catholic education.

We hope you will participate in events being planned to celebrate this week with your Catholic school community! We encourage you to celebrate with your parish, home and school, all of which is the foundation of Catholic education. Parish, Home and School continues as a central focus for OAPCE for over 70 years!

Please join us on May 15th in Niagara Falls and rejoice with us in “Sharing the Good News”, where we will gather together at our annual conference as “One Family” and carry forward our 70th theme of “united by faith we are stronger” through worship and networking.

Have a wonderful week!

With thanks,

Aimee Gerdevich President

It is entitled “Stations of the Resurrection” and I pray that you will take a few moments to look at this wonderful website as not just a Holy Week activity but anytime you need a “personal refresher” with our Lord.

May you all be blessed with a peaceful and peace filled Easter with family, friends and loved ones!

with thanks,

Aimee Gerdevich
President
