2024 CATHOLIC EDUCATION SUNDAY
On October 19 & 20, 2024, across the Diocese of Calgary, we celebrate Catholic Education Sunday which begins Catholic Education Week. This second collection at the parishes supports Catholic education in:
Calgary Catholic School District through the CCEF
The Catholic schools of Franco-Sud School District
St-Mary's University
St-Joseph Seminary at Newman Theological College
Publicly funded Catholic Education in Calgary has been an integral part of our Alberta history for over 140 years and is rooted in the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Calgary Catholic Education Foundation supports the largest Catholic school district in the province with 118 schools and over 64,000 students in the Calgary Catholic School District.
Believe in Catholic Education
With our entire Catholic Community, we provide our children an education with a purpose and strong moral values. We all must work together to enhance and continue the precious gift of publicly funded Catholic education in Alberta.
The Calgary Catholic Education Foundation supports the largest Catholic school district in the province with 118 schools and more than 63,000 students in the Calgary Catholic School District. Our mission is to enrich the educational experience of Catholic students in Calgary and surrounding areas. We do so with your generous donations received on Catholic Education Sunday.
In keeping with our faith, the Calgary Catholic Education Foundation was established to remove our schools' reliance on casino fundraisers.
Since 2009, the CCEF has awarded over $3.6 million in grants. However, the need continues to grow to ensure our Catholic students are given equal opportunities to become tomorrow’s community leaders.
Your donation today goes toward funding granting opportunities available to any school in the Calgary Catholic School District. The Foundation’s funding priorities are:
- Technology
- Social Justice
- Safe and Faith-Filled Schools
- Leadership and Citizenship
- Campus Calgary/Open Minds®
- Playgrounds
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our donors for their faith and support of The Foundation. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and important to our mission’s success.
