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!

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.
