Brandon Bailey, Principal of St. Mary's School shares in this month's Faithfully: "The impact of teaching and learning through the various waves of the COVID 19 pandemic has impacted everyone and affected us in different ways. We noticed in conversations that at times it was challenging to see the light along the journey. Even as faith-filled educators we had to cope with uncertainty and make sense of God’s intention for us. It is in times like these that our faith can really be our strength, if we look for it."

Congratulations to the Holy Trinity Academy Knights who played in the ASAA Provincial Championships on Friday. We are as proud of you in your loss as we would have been if you had won. But the supreme source of our pride comes in this moment right here - prayer initiated by coach Matthew Hassett. A call to both Catholic teams to pray at the end of the game, even in defeat. A truly sacramental moment. Notice all the coaches who instinctively lay hands on the knights, praying they’ll be blessed. This is the beauty of Catholic education. This is the beauty of our Catholic faith.

I started my day with an early morning meeting with Minister Adriana LaGrange. We took the time to discuss the feedback I have received on the draft curriculum, the health of our children and teachers, and as always, advocating for our rural schools. Thank you Minister for your time and for always having an open door to discuss the concerns of my constituents.
