Ash Wednesday Across Lakeland Catholic
Today, in all of our schools across Lakeland Catholic, students and staff gathered to mark the beginning of Lent.
From quiet classroom reflections to parish celebrations, ashes were received in the sign of the cross — a simple and powerful reminder of who we are and the journey we begin together.
Here at École Notre Dame High School, the entire school community came together at St. Louis Parish for Mass celebrated by Fr. René. It was a meaningful way to start the Lenten journey inviting Christ to fill every corner of our hearts, together.

🏗️ A meaningful milestone for Holy Family Catholic School 🏗️
Students, staff, families, members of the LCSD Board of Trustees, senior administration, and community members gathered in Waskatenau to mark an important moment in the construction of the new Holy Family Catholic School.
Together, they took part in a heartfelt beam-signing, placing their names and prayers on the very last steel beam before it was lifted into place — a powerful symbol of faith, hope, and shared commitment surrounding this future K–12 learning space.
With the steel framework now complete, the project enters its next phase, bringing this vision for Catholic education one step closer to reality.

Happy Family Day from all of us at Lakeland Catholic Schools.

“As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

At the centre of our faith is Jesus Christ, who teaches us what love truly looks like through sacrifice, mercy, and service.
“Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14
In our classrooms, in our homes, and in our daily interactions, we are called to reflect His love in the way we care for one another.
St. Teresa of Calcutta reminds us:
“Do small things with great love.”
It is often these quiet, faithful acts that reveal Christ most clearly and shape our community in lasting ways.
May we continue to follow His example, placing Him at the heart of all we do.

Lakeland Catholic School Division joins the community of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School community, and School District No. 59 in mourning the tragic events of February 10.
In sorrow, we turn to the promise of God’s nearness:
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
We lift in prayer those who have died, their families and friends, students and staff, and all who are grieving. In times when words fall short, we trust in Christ, who draws near to the suffering and brings light into the darkest places.
Let us pray:
God of compassion and mercy,
You are our refuge and strength in every trial.
Be present to the people of Tumbler Ridge in their grief.
Surround families with Your peace.
Steady young hearts that feel shaken.
Grant wisdom to those leading this community forward.
May Your love be a shelter in sorrow and a source of hope in the days ahead.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace. Amen.
