What do you value about Catholic education in your community? Where could our schools and parishes work more closely together?

From November 23 to December 4, Catholic Independent Schools of the Nelson Diocese invites you to share your thoughts through our Parish Community Survey.

Whether you have children in our schools, are part of a local parish, know our schools through the community, or simply have a perspective to share, everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate! Your voice matters, and we would love to hear from you.

Watch for the survey link and QR code later this month!

🧡 National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 🧡

September 30 is an opportunity to listen, learn, and reflect on the truths of our shared history and the ongoing journey toward reconciliation.

As a Catholic school community, we are called to approach this day with open hearts, remembering the children and families who have been affected by the legacy of residential schools and considering how we can continue to learn from Indigenous peoples and walk together toward reconciliation.

May we remember, listen, and carry this learning forward—not only today, but throughout the year.
