Catholic Education Week in Dufferin-Peel
This year, Dufferin-Peel Catholic schools will celebrate Catholic Education Week from April 27 to May 2. Catholic Education Week is a unique opportunity to celebrate the great work of Catholic schools in dynamic and creative integration of Catholic teachings and gospel values across the curriculum. The 2008 theme is – We are Called!
This is a very special week for our staff and students. It is an opportunity to reflect on the importance of faith in our lives and the role it plays in education. Schools and parishes across Dufferin-Peel will host many special events and activities during the week, including: concerts, plays, art displays, celebratory Masses, academic competitions, athletic events, fundraisers, open houses, and much more.

A Catholic education means living life by trying to follow Jesus’ teachings and live the Gospel." - Jordan Nanowski, Student
"As a Catholic educator, I take pride in my role. I am given the honour to teach the curriculum, as well as the Catholic values simultaneously.
