Dear Trustees:

In today’s Holy Thursday Gospel, Jesus tells his disciples and each of us: “Love one another.  As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.”  In this spirit, we pray for the people of the Ukraine and for peace in our world.

As we celebrate the third Easter during the pandemic, we recognize and express deep appreciation to trustees, system and school leaders, teachers and support staff for their heroic service and commitment to the health and safety of students (and staff) and for their conviction to “place Christ and the teachings of the Catholic Church at the centre” of their school systems.

On behalf of the OCSTA Board of Directors, I pray that Our Risen Saviour showers you, your families and the Catholic school systems you serve with all of His blessings and that you enjoy a holy and Happy Easter.
