During the week of May 3-8, 2026, the Halton Catholic District School 91pro视频 (HCDSB) joins school boards in celebrating the significant contributions that Catholic education has made to our community and across the province of Ontario!
The province-wide theme of Catholic Education Week (CEW) is “Pilgrims of Hope: On the Path to Holiness”, inspired by the recent canonization of Saint Carlo Acutis and the Canadian Bishops鈥� Pastoral Letter to Young People. Our students serve as vivid witnesses to this journey, demonstrating what it means to live as pilgrims grounded in the unshakeable love of the Risen Jesus.
