“He saw and believed.”
— John 20:8
Dear Families, Educators, and Members of the CISND Community:
Happy Easter! In the Gospel of John, the beloved disciple enters the empty tomb, sees, and believes. This profound, simple moment reminds us of the glory of God when we put our entire faith and trust in the Lord.
This Easter, we are called to renew our faith, as we recognize the signs of resurrection in our schools, homes, and hearts. We are all united as pilgrims in this Jubilee Year of Hope, with the universal Church in living, celebrating, and proclaiming our faith with joyful enthusiasm. In our Catholic schools, we see this hope every day: children discovering the love of Christ, educators forming hearts and minds, and families growing together.
Thank you to our educators, staff, clergy, and families for your unwavering dedication. It is through your efforts that our children not only see but believe—then share their faith with the world through their words and actions.
May the Risen Lord bless you with peace, renew your hearts with hope, and strengthen our shared mission in Catholic education.
Christ is Risen! Alleluia!
In Christ,
Pamela Guilbault
Superintendent, Catholic Independent Schools of the Nelson Diocese
