In the spirit of Christ’s teachings, we are grateful for programs like Open Minds Calgary® that allow our Catholic students to step beyond the classroom and experience learning in a vibrant, faith-filled environment. This unique program fosters critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving by engaging students in hands-on experiences that bring the curriculum to life.

Through partnerships with organizations like the Calgary Zoo, The Mustard Seed, and the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, Open Minds Calgary® offers students transformative, week-long experiences such as Chevron Open Minds® Zoo School, SEEDschool at The Mustard Seed, and Jube School at the Jubilee Auditorium. These opportunities immerse students in real-world environments where they can apply their learning, grow in faith, and develop as compassionate, responsible citizens.

Your donation will support Calgary Catholic students’ participation in these life-changing programs. You can contribute in various ways—through one-time gifts, stocks, pledges, or monthly donations. Funds can be directed to the Open Minds Calgary® program or to support specific schools, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to engage in these transformative educational experiences.

By supporting the CCEF with Open Minds Calgary® funding requests, you are helping to nurture the next generation of learners who will live out their faith through action, learning, and community. Thank you for your generosity!
