Fun Fact Friday… Did you know St. Luke’s celebrates graduation? 👨🏼‍🎓 👩🏻‍🎓We do! One of the first questions we get asked when new students enrol here is, “Do you have a “real” grad?” The answer is yes, and it is beautiful! Graduates from all three campuses gather in Okotoks at Saint James Church, ⛪️ where we celebrate each student and their unique gifts as they walk the stage! It is a day dedicated to honouring all the obstacles they have overcome to achieve this important milestone! Last year we had over 60 graduates!! There is a professional photographer, 📷 caps, 🎓gowns 👨‍🎓 and an optional dinner 🍽️ to follow! St. Luke’s graduation is an emotional day filled with celebration and joy! 🥳🫶🏻💖 Check out our highlights for a few photos from past graduation celebrations! #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #hope #graduation #celebration #okotoks #brooksalberta #highriveralberta #alternativeeducation #traditionalgraduation

Our High River campus had the honour and privilege of spending some time at Saint Francis DeSales parish with the beloved Fr. Marius! We learned some history, and heard personal stories as we toured church! Fr. Marius is candid and welcoming and he is such a gift to our community!!! Our students learned about the relic in the altar, the reason for each sacrament and some lesser known details about the elements of the church! They also got a glimpse into life in the parish! We are so blessed! #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #lent #church #learning #grateful #blessed

Fun Fact Friday! We can offer small group support! Did you know our smaller classes and unique settings allow us to offer more one on one and small group support? That’s right! Our students can often find one on one help outside of our regular classroom time! Student success is our number one priority and alternative learning has perks!!! #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #alternativeeducation #student #teacher #teamwork

Come Share In the Beauty of Faith This year, Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools focuses on Encountering Beauty Through Faith & Science; part of our three-year theme, Faith Seeking Understanding. Deepening our Catholic faith, we are exploring its connection to science, reason, and society through the lenses of beauty, truth, and goodness—and we want you to be a part of it. Meaningfully engaging families is part of the new diocesan pastoral renewal, and we hope that you will join us at St. John Paul II Collegiate on March 12 at 7 pm. Come meet our new superintendent, Dr. Andrea Holowka, associate superintendent Pat MacDonald, board chair Andrea Keenan, trustee Andrew Gustafson, and director of Catholic education, Grant Gay. They will share how we are forming our staff and students in the faith, how you can bring our faith theme into your homes, and how you can continue to support publicly funded Catholic education in Alberta. We hope to see you there. #ibelieveincatholiced #faith #hope #love #beautyoffaith #leavenotoneheartbehind #okotoks #learning
