During our Faith Formation session, special guest presenter MacKenzie Newfeld offered a powerful reflection on weaving Catholic Social Teachings into learning.
She reminded us of the wonder and beauty of God’s creation and how our faith theme “Doing small things with great love” comes alive in our classrooms and in our call as a Catholic community of learners. MacKenzie shared that faith integration isn’t something we “tack on,” but rather an awakening of what is already there — an invitation to see the beauty, mystery, and meaning in even the smallest details of teaching and learning.
Her message left staff inspired to approach education through a lens of wonder, beauty, and love at the heart of Catholic education.

Yesterday marked the start of our Leadership Formation series for the year!
Principals and vice principals gathered for a full day of faith formation, collaboration, and planning to guide our schools with vision and purpose. From reflecting on LCSD's Education Assurance Plan to engaging in professional learning, safety planning, inclusive education, and curriculum updates, the day provided a powerful foundation for the year ahead.

📣 Mass Time Update for This Sunday
Please note that Mass at Assumption Church will begin at 9:30 a.m. this Sunday (June 29).
Fr. Nong will be away, and Fr. Anthony from the Base will be celebrating Mass earlier, for this Sunday only, to ensure he has enough time to return to the Base to celebrate the 11 a.m. Mass there.
We invite all families and community members to join us in worship at the updated time.
Staff from St. Dominic Elementary School, Holy Cross Elementary School, and Assumption Jr/Sr High School gathered at St. Dominic Parish to close the school year in faith and unity.
"Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life."
