As we journey through November, we enter a season of reflection, gratitude, and remembrance. In our Catholic faith, this month calls us to honour all saints and all souls—those who have inspired us by their lives of faith and those whose memory continues to shape and bless our own. It is a reminder that hope is not simply a feeling but a way of living that keeps us anchored in Christ, even amid life’s challenges.
In our schools, the energy and rhythm of learning are well established. Classrooms are alive with curiosity and care, our students are growing in both knowledge and virtue, and our staff continue to model what it means to serve with joy and compassion. I am deeply grateful for the close connection that our schools and division have with our parish priests, who lead us spiritually at Mass and liturgical celebrations. Additionally, I am very thankful for the dedication of our teachers, support staff, administrators, and for the families who walk alongside us in faith. Together, we form a community rooted in love, learning, and service.
As Advent draws near, may we take time to pause, pray, and prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ. May His light continue to guide our Holy Family community, filling our days with peace and hope.
