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
