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.

GrACE Survey 2025 – From Maintenance to Mission
Catholic education in Alberta stands at a critical crossroads.
The 2025 GrACE Survey engaged trustees, parents, educators, clergy, and community leaders to reflect on what’s working — and what must grow stronger.
The result is a clear and urgent mandate:
Catholic education must shift from maintenance ➔ to mission.
