On October 30, St. Albert Catholic School welcomed Bishop Vincent Nguyen for a special school liturgy as part of a pastoral visit. As a school community, we prayed together in preparation for All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day.

Bishop Nguyen reminded our students, staff and school community that we can all follow in the footsteps of saints. His homily message was that students can become saints, encourage each other to become saints and, as a school community, we can also strive to be like saints by following in the footsteps of Jesus.

Thank you to Ms. Moniz and her Grade 5/6 students for leading the liturgy, Bishop Nguyen for spending time with us, along with Father Edwin Galea and Lilian D’Souza from St. Maria Goretti Parish, and Superintendent Kevin Malcolm.
