The first Lakeland Catholic classroom prayer tables have been blessed at St. Dominic Elementary School! It was a special day, also in celebration of Fr. Nong’s birthday! He visited each classroom taking time to bless the students too, reminding them of the prayer table’s importance, central to their learning space as they grow in faith & knowledge. Thank you Fr. Nong for the connections you make with students & staff, emphasizing the words of St. Mother Teresa, to make the ordinary extraordinary!
Today we celebrate the Feast of Saint Teresa of Calcutta, whose life reminds us that God’s presence can be found in simple, everyday acts. Her words, ‘Do small things with great love,’ will guide our faith journey from 2025–2029 as we live out this message in our schools and communities.

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! Lakeland Catholic wishes all our students and staff an incredible day!
1 day to go! 🎒
Yesterday, every member of the Lakeland Catholic team took part in Pathways to Excellence — the first in a series of professional learning days planned for this school year.
This opening session brought together every staff member for a day of learning, collaboration, and faith-filled preparation, reflecting our commitment to excellence and our faith theme, small things done with great love.
With opportunities spanning instruction, technology, wellness, safety, and more, the day strengthened our shared dedication to creating caring, faith-filled, and engaging learning environments as we welcome students back to school tomorrow.

During our Faith Formation session, special guest presenter MacKenzie Newfeld offered a powerful reflection on weaving Catholic Social Teachings into learning.
She reminded us of the wonder and beauty of God’s creation and how our faith theme “Doing small things with great love” comes alive in our classrooms and in our call as a Catholic community of learners. MacKenzie shared that faith integration isn’t something we “tack on,” but rather an awakening of what is already there — an invitation to see the beauty, mystery, and meaning in even the smallest details of teaching and learning.
Her message left staff inspired to approach education through a lens of wonder, beauty, and love at the heart of Catholic education.

On August 26, following our Division Opening Day Mass, we celebrated faith, dedication, and years of service at our annual Awards Ceremony.
This special day honored long service award recipients from 5 to 35 years, retirees who have left a lasting legacy in our schools, and the recipients of the Excellence in Catholic Education and special recognition awards. We also recognized Trustees Mary Anne Penner, Vicky Lefebvre, and Diane Bauer for their many years of devoted service to Catholic education across our Division.

2 more days to go!
This morning, the Lakeland Catholic community gathered in faith to begin the 2025–2026 school year with the celebration of Mass.
His Excellency Bishop Gary Franken presided, joined by Father Rene, Father Nong, Father Benji, and Father Anselmo. The day began with the rosary for those wishing to join in prayer, followed by Mass where Bishop Gary Franken shared words of encouragement and blessings for the year ahead.
It was especially meaningful to begin our school year on the birthday of Saint Teresa of Calcutta, whose words “Do small things with great love” guide our Lakeland Catholic faith theme for 2025–2029. A beautiful start to a new year of learning, faith, and community.
