Catholicity

Our Beliefs
Christ The Redeemer Catholic Schools, under the guidance of the Bishop of the Diocese of Calgary, are rooted in the Nicene Creed and the teachings of the Catholic Church. Catholic beliefs, traditions, prayers, and values permeate all aspects of school life, inside and outside the classroom, in celebrations, and in daily practices.

Our Mission
Christ The Redeemer Catholic Schools in partnership with the family and the parish, will deliver an authentic Catholic learning experience by creating a lasting foundation of faith and knowledge for everyone in our community in a supportive, caring environment.

School Responsibilities

  • Ensure Catholic Christian faith is permeated through all curricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities.
  • Provide approved religious and family life education at every grade.
  • Foster  spiritual growth in classrooms, liturgies, celebrations, and Mass.
