During the week of May 3 to May 8, 2020, the Halton Catholic District School Board (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 this year’s Catholic Education Week is Igniting Hope, reminding us that our Catholic schools exist to spread joy and peace in believing; so that our students may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
The five sub-themes for Catholic Education Week are:
Monday – Our Hope in Christ
Tuesday – The Hope Within Us
Wednesday – The Hope Among Us
Thursday – Hope for the World
Friday – A Future Full of Hope
