This Sunday at Our Lady of the Assumption Parish in Cold Lake our Holy Cross teachers were warmly welcomed by the parish community and received a special blessing for the year ahead. It was a meaningful way to begin the school year rooted in faith and fellowship.
We were also joined by Trustees Mary Anne Penner and Vicky Lefebvre, who celebrated alongside us in recognition of the blessing of Catholic education.

Today we celebrate the Feast of Saint Teresa of Calcutta, whose life reminds us that God’s presence can be found in simple, everyday acts. Her words, ‘Do small things with great love,’ will guide our faith journey from 2025–2029 as we live out this message in our schools and communities.

When red lights flash — STOP. No passing from either direction.
Arrive at the bus stop 5 minutes early
Stay 3 metres back until the bus is at a full stop
Use handrails and take five big steps away after exiting
Stay seated and keep aisles clear on the bus
Drivers: It’s illegal to pass a bus with flashing red lights | Be prepared to stop when you see the amber lights
