Happy Catholic Education Week! This year’s theme is “Catholic Education: We Are Called to Love”, and today’s subtheme is “As People of Hope.” Good and gracious God, guide us with your light. Lead us so that we may inspire hope in others through our words and deeds.

This week is also Children’s Mental Health Week. This is an annual national event that takes place during the first week in May to encourage people to learn, talk, reflect and engage with others on all issues relating to mental health. This year’s theme is “A Call to Be Kind.”

At the start of #CatholicEducationWeek and Children's #MentalHealthWeek, we thank our Catholic school teachers, especially for their concern for the whole person of each student they teach. Check our #Climateanxiety resources for teachers on our website rsmtheology.utoronto.ca/ccce/

During the year, schools and board staff work together to provide differentiated and identity-affirming supports to every student. We've curated a collection of resources to support authentic relationships and belonging during #MentalHealthWeek and beyond. smho-smso.ca/compassionconn…
