Our Faith

Notre Dame School offers support for the sacramental preparation of St. Michael’s parish. The sacraments are a doorway to meet Jesus, and we believe that students should have the opportunity to encounter Christ in the sacraments. Baptism, Confirmation, First Communion, and First Reconciliation are available through St. Michael’s parish. Currently, Notre Dame offers supports for students on their faith journey through the School of Virtues program, announcements of upcoming sacramental preparation events, and the Edge youth ministry program for grade five and six students.

To be a catechist is a holy and noble vocation. Before children observe and study anything else, they observe and study their teachers. Thus, in religious instruction, the teacher becomes a living example for the children, and as such is called upon to be a model of faith.

At Notre Dame, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ. Teachers at Notre Dame create a welcoming and nurturing environment where they and their children can enter more deeply into relationship with God. Along with the entire Christina community, they learn and grow in their faith.

Notre Dame School works in close connection with St. Michael’s Parish in Leduc. Student visit St. Michael’s for classroom field trips, attend mass twice at year at the parish, participate in youth ministry programs, and prepare for the sacraments with Father Matthew and Jeanne McKay-Rowan, pastoral associate.

We value our connection with St. Michael’s as we believe a strong connection with the local church is vital in our faith based education here at Notre Dame. We believe the church grows and learns together and that it is more than a building but a group of people in relationship with Jesus, loving and serving others.
