Catholic Trustee Elections-October 20, 2025:
Identity, Inheritance, and the Future of Catholic Education.
Identity, Inheritance, and the Future of Catholic Education.
Your Faith. Your Vote. Your Schools!
On October 20, 2025, Albertans will head to the polls to elect Catholic school trustees. These elections are not routine—they are decisive.
The future of Catholic education in Alberta depends on who we entrust to steward it. This election is not about politics. It is about identity. Because Catholic education is not just a right. It is an identity. And that identity must be preserved, protected, and proclaimed.
Trustees are not merely policymakers. They are guardians of Catholic mission. Their decisions shape the future of our schools, our children, and our public witness.
Choose trustees who cherish the Catholic identity. Defend our mission!
The GrACE Youth Summit: Listening, Adapting, and Moving Forward Together!
The GrACE Youth Summit, originally scheduled for October 24, 2025, has been postponed due to the current labour disruption. With 450 participants expected in person and another 350 online, the Summit depends heavily on teacher and chaperone support — commitments that cannot be secured at this time.
Following feedback from some school divisions noting that May 15, 2026, is a professional development day, GrACE is taking this opportunity to review and discern the most suitable date to ensure full representation and participation across Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and the Yukon.
Our goal remains to choose a time that allows the widest possible engagement of students, staff, families, and parishes — so that the Summit truly reflects the unity and living faith of our Catholic community.
GrACE is deeply grateful for the understanding and support of our partners as we continue this conversation of faith and mission.
Further updates will be shared as discernment progresses and plans develop.
We look forward to gathering when full participation, shared witness, and lasting impact can once again be achieved.

GrACE FAITH ALIVE SERIES 2025–2026:
A Catholic Church-Wide Communion of Witness Focused Around Our Youth through Catholic Education
Faith Alive begins with the unified voices of bishops, trustees, superintendents, and Catholic universities. It culminates in the leadership of students who proclaim:
“Faith is alive. And we are the proof.”
The series runs from October 2025 through Catholic Education Week and continues through the 2025–2026 school year.

2025-2026 Catholic Education Theme:
2025-2026 Catholic Education Theme:
Anchored in Christ, A Beacon of Hope
Anchored in Christ, A Beacon of Hope
(Hebrews 6:19)
(Hebrews 6:19)
This year’s theme for the new school year is more than a slogan—it’s a shift in posture. It challenges us to move from maintenance to mission, from protecting what we have to boldly proclaiming who we are. To be anchored in Christ is to place our trust not in changing trends or cultural approval, but in the unchanging truth of Jesus Christ and the sacramental life of the Church. To become beacons of hope means living and leading in a way that draws others toward that truth—with clarity, courage, and joy. In a time of uncertainty, Catholic education stands as a visible sign of conviction, compassion, and Christ-centred purpose.
GrACE Resources for 2025–2026
GrACE Resources for 2025–2026
Rooted in our 2025–2026 theme, GrACE offers a collection of resources to unify, inspire, and mobilize Catholic schools, parishes, and families across Alberta, the Yukon, and the Northwest Territories. These materials support our bold movement from maintenance to mission, grounded in faith, tradition, and shared witness.
Use Freely. Share Boldly. Witness Faithfully.
We invite you—educators, clergy, parents, and students—to integrate these tools into the life of your community. Whether in the classroom, the home, or the parish, may they help you live and proclaim the Good News with renewed courage and joy.
Thank you for your steadfast commitment to Catholic education—rooted in tradition, alert to the present, and open to God’s unfolding call. May these resources shine as beacons of hope in your ministry.
