As the festive lights illuminate our homes and the melodies of carols ring in the air, I am filled with joy and gratitude for the incredible community that is Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools. With great warmth and festive spirit, I extend my heartfelt greetings to each student, family, and staff member during this joyous Christmas season. I feel privileged to work with all of you to provide our students with a joyful, caring, and faith-filled learning environment. Thank you for choosing to be a part of GSACRD!

Advent Social Justice Campaign
This Advent, GSACRD is pleased to support orphaned girls of Our Lady of Kibeho Orphanage in Uganda.
Our Lady Of Kibeho Orphanage Foundation empowers vulnerable orphans in Uganda — many of whom lost their parents as a result of AIDS. Incorporated as a society in Alberta, Canada and registered as a charity with the Canada Revenue Agency, we provide the necessities of life: access to education, medical supplies, shelter, food, water, and clothing.
May this season of waiting for the coming of our Saviour also be a time to give thanks for our blessings and to be generous with our gifts.

Christmas Blessings
As we come together to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, let us reflect on the blessings, challenges, and triumphs that have shaped our journey throughout the year. I would like to share with you the following Prayer for Christmas Dinner from acatholic.org:
Eternal God,
This joyful day is radiant
with the brilliance of your one true light.
May that light illuminate our hearts
and shine in our words and deeds.
May the hope, the peace, the joy, and the love
represented by the birth in Bethlehem
fill our lives and become part of all that we say and do.
May we share the divine life of your son Jesus Christ,
even as he humbled himself to share our humanity.
Bless us and the feast that You have provided for us,
let us be thankful for the true gift of Christmas, your Son.
Amen.
Wishing you and your loved ones a Christmas filled with love, peace, and the cherished company of family and friends. May God bless you and your families during this Advent season and always.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Dr. Clint Moroziuk
Superintendent of Schools
