Posted @withregram • @ctrcatholic Join us as we celebrate the gift of Catholic education during Catholic Education Week, October 19-25. This year's theme is “Testify! Share the Reason for Your Hope,” which serves as a powerful reminder of the responsibility that comes with the privilege of publicly funded Catholic education. It calls us to have the courage to ensure that our schools remain true to Church teachings while pursuing academic excellence. Schools across our division will have a variety of activities and events planned around Catholic Education Week. Be sure to visit your school's social media to view all the amazing Catholic Education celebrations in your own community! In a show of support for Catholic education, staff and students will be wearing blue throughout the week and especially on Thursday, Oct. 24. Join us to show your support for Catholic education by also wearing blue on this day, through your prayers, and by sharing the good that has come to your family through Catholic education in Alberta. Pray with us for Catholic education! For more on the history of Catholic Education Week, visit our website. #IBelieveinCatholicEd #BlueforCatholicEd

October is dedicated as the Month of the Rosary, with the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary celebrated on October 7. This feast day was established in 1571 by Pope Pius V to commemorate the victory of the Christian fleet at the Battle of Lepanto. The Rosary is a prayer deeply rooted in the Catholic Christian tradition, offering a simple yet profound way to strengthen spiritual life for people of all ages. The Rosary is more than just a string of beads; it’s a pathway to deepening our relationship with God. It is a meditative prayer that occupies our senses to allow our minds to focus on the life of Jesus. The feel and colour of the beads, the crucifix on the pendant, and the medallion in the centre occupy our touch and sight. The sound of the prayers creates a rhythm for our ears to follow, and some rosaries even bear a floral scent to fill our noses. All of these help us to develop focus, patience, and a sense of peace so that we can enter into prayer more deeply. Praying the Rosary together teaches not only how to pray but also the importance of turning to God in all aspects of life. This powerful prayer can be a source of strength, guidance, and peace for everyone in the family. #IBelieveinCatholicEd #hediedforusweliveforhim #hccfaith #weareHCC
