 Ash Wednesday marked the beginning of the forty days of Lent; a time of pray, reflection and preparation for Easter. 

 Teachers and students began their journey into lent with a brief liturgy held in each TA classroom.  The meaningful service, which was lead by each Teacher Advisor  and  facilitated by student readers, culminated in the distribution of ashes.  The closing prayer reminded us to observe Lent in ways that will help us to grow closer to God, to one another and to our families.

Bishop Grandin High School Grade 12 student Jennifer Misurelli has been nominated as a “Leader of Tomorrow“, Calgary’s premier volunteer recognition program.  Calgary Catholic School Trustee, Marge Belcourt wrote of Jennifer:  ” It is students like you that exemplify what it looks like if the best happens.  The generosity of  your time and compassion to help others who are in need is something that your parents, community members and you should be extremely proud of.”  Congratulations Jennifer!
