He shared personal stories, reminding students that it is through prayer and keeping our focus on Christ that we navigate life’s challenges. He also reflected on the story of the woman at the well, illustrating that Jesus is our living water, offering strength and sustenance through faith.

The entire gymnasium was filled with singing and smiles as Chris led students in songs, making it a joyful and memorable experience for all.

Together, we continue to grow, uplift, and foster a community where every step is taken with purpose and compassion.

Lakeland Catholic School Division would like to express our sincere gratitude to Fr. Rene for his inspiring sermons. We greatly appreciate his presence and contributions at our Administrators Meeting and at today’s New Certified Staff Orientation for LCSD. The morning began with full hearts and eager minds, ready to make impactful contributions to the upcoming school year.

The meeting was a great success, filled with collaborative energy and innovative ideas. It was inspiring to see our school leaders come together to share insights and strategies, all aimed at enhancing our educational environment. Let’s carry this momentum forward as we continue to work together for a successful year ahead!
