3 The Second Annual St. John XXIII Carnaval d Hiver! Once again, the students and staff at St. John XXIII celebrated several French-Canadian activities for our second Carnaval d Hiver. The week of February 5 th - 9 th was a fun filled week with indoor and outdoor activities. The Quebec Carnival is the oldest winter festival in Canada. The French started this popular tradition of having a party in the heart of winter. The people of New France wanted to break the boredom by celebrating before Lent. Cabane a sucre: At one station students got to sample la tire. Here maple syrup is rolled in snow to make a candy treat. Students also played French videos on the following topics: Cabane à sucre, history of spoon playing, a tutorial on playing the spoons, traditional tap dancing etc. A number traditional French games such a tug a war and spoon playing occurred throughout the day in the field outside the school. Winter Walk and Outdoor games: Students joined up outside for a lap or two around the school, and every class had a variety of games to enjoy! Traditional French-Canadian Dance: All the Junior High students enjoyed a 2 hours workshop given by La Girandole. For more than 35 years La Girandole has been the leading francophone dance school in western Canada. Specializing in traditional French-Canadian dance, La Girandole offers classes in various genres such as ballet, hip hop, African style, musical theatre and many more! The activity was made possible by the Bilingual Advantage Fund that our school obtained from the Government of Canada.

5 Father Catfish Day On February 5 th, all our grade 8 students gathered together as a community of young believers for our second annual Father Michael Catfish Mireau Youth Faith Day. The theme for the event was Serve Like a Superhero. This uplifting experience provided our youth, those whom Father Mike was so deeply committed to, the opportunity to pray, to celebrate, and to learn more about bringing their faith to life in this world, and it was #ECSDawesome!

7 Shrove Tuesday Breakfast and Ash Wednesday Celebration On Tuesday February 13 th, St. John XXIII held its second annual Shrove Tuesday Breakfast. The School prepared a breakfast of pancakes and sausages that was served to the students during the morning. With over 1600 pancakes and sausage served it proved to be a wonderful event. Thank you to the staff and the grade 8 students who organized and served the breakfast to the students. On Wednesday February 14 th, the school held its Ash Wednesday Celebration. Deacon Randall and Deacon candidate Chris Ashdown from the St. Thomas More Parish lead the celebration. All students received ashes on their foreheads as reminder to turn away from sin and be faithful to the gospel. Students were reminded to look for something in their lives they can give up during Lent and to prepare for the coming of Easter. Valentine Day This year Valentine s Day fell on the first day of Lent which was also Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday, a universal day of fasting and abstinence from meat, takes liturgical precedence. As a result, St. John XXII celebrated St. Valentine's Day this year on February 9 th and 12 th. On this day, we celebrated each person s giftedness. The Junior High students participated in a Valentine s Dance and social in the p.m. The students have been learning a variety of dances in their physical education classes that they showcased on February 9 th. Counsellor s Corner An excerpt from the Edmonton Catholic Schools Inclusive Communities Newsletter: STIGMA The term STIGMA is defined as: a mark of disgrace associated with a particular circumstance, quality, or person. Its synonyms are: shame, disgrace, dishonor, ignominy (public shaming or disgrace), opprobrium (harsh criticism or censure), and humiliation. Stigma is the result of negative perceptions and stereotypes stemming from the lack of awareness of understanding. Stigma is often a reduced view of a person, or parts of a person, based on perceptions and stereotypes. As a Catholic community, we believe in the gifts of the whole person and the wholeness of the gift of life from God. Walking together to reduce stigma should be our beacon, our shining light of who we are as Catholics. Yet, the stigma is real in every part of society: Stigma of poverty and/or homelessness

8 Stigma of racism and stereotypes of brown skin vs. white skin Stigma of immigration and stereotypes of intelligence based on mastery of English Stigma of gender identity and sexual orientation, gender expression, same-sex relationships Stigma of sexual assault, sexual abuse, physical and mental abuse Stigma of sexism and reducing a person s worth based on their gender Stigma of addictions Stigma of eating disorders and body image Stigma of mental health, often resulting in some of the above stigmatizations Stigma has a direct impact on mental health. It includes judgments, opinions, or negative comments from others, and can escalate to harassment when these comments or judgments turn to public shaming or ridicule. When these comments or judgments become internalized, they turn one s inner thoughts towards negative selftalk, which in turn harbors low confidence, low self-esteem, and an unhealthy view of who you are. The words that have surrounded you (the negative words) are what land on your heart and tear at your soul. And, if you a person who replays words again and again in your mind, these words can act like a thousand cuts to your soul. Stigma thrives in negativity, judgment, and exclusion. and we can t get ourselves out of this environment alone. Have discussions with your family about these different sources of Stigma. How can these be countered? One of the most cited reasons for not seeking help from a counsellor is the fear of the negative stigma associated with mental health issues; if we are able to make help seeking a positive behavior, more students will be able to get the help they need. If you have any questions or concerns, please me at Kristopher.Christianson@ecsd.net. Demonstration of Learning Parent/Student/ Teacher interviews and Demonstration of Learning sessions will be on Thursday, March 15 th. Demonstration of Learning will take place on Wednesday afternoon, from 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.- 8:00 p.m. We look forward to seeing you at this time. For elementary students, you are invited to spend some time in your child s classroom sharing some of the evidence of their learning over the past term. As well, there is an opportunity to talk to your child s teacher. Junior High students will be able to meet with teachers for individual interviews. The time you invest with your child in this process is very important. Your positive support and guidance helps your child set goals for the coming term and can inspire the best in your child. Please remember that you are welcome and encouraged to call or meet with your child s teachers throughout the year if you have questions, concerns, or things to share. We have organized our second Scholastic book fair to occur at this time as well. Please support our school literacy program through the purchase of books from Scholastic. There is NO REPORT CARD during this demo of learning. The final report cards for students in grades 1-9 will be ready on June 28.

Pass of Archbishop Emeritus Joseph MacNeil Joseph MacNeil, beloved Archbishop Emeritus of Edmonton, passes at 93 Alberta s Catholic community has lost a beloved pastor, collaborator and friend with the death on Sunday of Most Rev. Joseph N. MacNeil, Archbishop Emeritus of Edmonton. He was 93. His passing came as the Church observed the World Day of the Sick, when Catholics around the world pray for the sick and suffering, and those who care for them, and the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes, the patron saint of bodily ills. MacNeil, a native of Nova Scotia, had made Alberta his home ever since he was appointed Archbishop of Edmonton on Sept. 5, During his 26-year term, he committed himself to the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, empowering lay people in the Church, building friendships with other faith communities, and extending the Church s efforts in social justice. Archbishop MacNeil was instrumental in arranging the visit of St. Pope John Paul II to Edmonton in But in all his time in Alberta, he said one of the biggest thrills was having a school named after him. He had a gift for connecting with young people, and loved to visit the students at his school in southwest Edmonton. Although he officially retired in 1999, MacNeil continued to serve in many ways from filling in for Archbishop Richard Smith at official functions and presiding at Confirmations, to animating retreats and celebrating Mass at schools. In 2014, marking MacNeil s 90th birthday, Archbishop Smith described him as a true shepherd" and "an exemplary priest. He echoed the feelings of many when he told MacNeil: Words really cannot express our appreciation for you and, indeed, our love for you." Archbishop MacNeil died at the Grey Nuns hospital in Edmonton after suffering a stroke.

12 Living in the Word of God - Mercy at the Heart of It All Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be answerable for the body and blood of the Lord. Examine yourselves, and only then eat of the bread and drink of the cup; for all who eat and drink without discerning the body, eat and drink judgment against themselves (1 Corinthians 11: 27-29). In previous articles on Living in the Word of God, we discovered that the Christian response to God's love revealed in Christ is threefold: worship, witness and service; the three ways in which we put into practice the Word of God. Our lives come from the mercy of God. The Lord calls us precisely in our weakness, and mercifully bestows upon us all the gifts we need for the fulfillment of our Christian calling. True worship, especially through the celebration of the Eucharist, requires that we examine our way of living, to seek forgiveness and reconciliation, to profess what we believe, and to serve others with joyful hearts. Pope Francis calls us to embrace fully the meaning of our Baptism and to live consciously as disciples of Jesus Christ. This means hearing the Word of God and practicing it. Every day we encounter a myriad of voices; some positive, some negative, endeavoring to influence and shape our way of thinking and living. Yet, for us there is only one voice that we know is fully worthy of our trust, and that voice is Jesus. To be disciples, to live in accord with our Baptismal identity and dignity, is to allow only his words to guide and direct our lives. Sandra Talarico, Religious Education Consultant Lent Message from Father Dean Among the many desires of mankind is the pursuit of power. It may be political, economic, psychological, or familial. A review of current global or local issues indicate just how many revolve around the application of power: who has it, how much, and why. Power holds a great force of influence. In most instances it is pursued so as to effect control such that one s personal intentions, needs, and wants are enacted. Essentially one wants to ensure one s needs and wants are met and served. Indeed, we know by experience that to be served feels good, but this is only so if it is done out of an authentic love which then can be reciprocated with acknowledgement and appreciation. For to be served on demand or out of mere selfishness is the antithesis of the interpretation of service Jesus both lived and extolled. As we are given to understand in every Gospel in general and Holy Thursday in particular, it is not the societal interpretation of power to which the Christian is to aspire. Rather, it is the humble service which can and likely involves a sacrifice, a task we are asked to fulfill for its own sake and the common good. Our District community has many such examples from which to draw: the new mother who sacrifices sleep to be with a sick child, the dedicated teacher who gives up the lunch hour to be with a struggling student, or the newly retired principal who volunteers their skills to help a senior in need. The way that Jesus serves is consistently defined by what he says and so by what he does. Consequently, if we desire to know what it means to be the real image and likeness of God, what it means to know ultimate power, what we ought to do is look to Jesus. And if we want to know how to be closer to God, we in turn emulate the way of Jesus: not to be served, but to serve. Holy Thursday and the Mass of the Lord s Supper will be our example and source of inspiration: all are encouraged to attend this most special night at their local Parish. The Gospel reinforces for us that it is service to others which will show the way to what is true leadership and authentic power within the Kingdom. And the final destination of the Kingdom is all

13 that should really matter. May we remember this during the latter of Lent and Easter soon to be: God, power, others, and me. Most sincerely yours in Christ, Fr. Dean Dowle ECSD Chaplain March 2018 Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. ~John 13:1~ This passage comes from the Gospel reading for Holy Thursday. The Gospel of John is also known as the Gospel of Love because it is written to clearly tell us of the great love that God has for us. That love is embodied in the person of Jesus. Knowing of the immense suffering that Jesus is about to endure as his death approaches, it is humbling to even try to imagine the magnitude of His love for us. Our Catholic community was deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and shepherd, Archbishop Emeritus Joseph MacNeil. One of our schools proudly bears his name and his motto Let us grow together in Christ. Archbishop MacNeil was a significant part of the fabric of so many of our lives, especially through the sacrament of Confirmation. We invite you to visit and click on the Remembering Archbishop Joseph MacNeil banner to share a favorite story or picture of him. ECSD has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Mount Royal University to collaborate and offer students two courses to explore their passions and interests in Aviation. The two dual credit Aviation courses, which are required courses within the Mount Royal University Bissett School of Business Aviation Diploma, will be offered at St. Joseph High School to interested grade 11 & 12 students from ECSD who meet the pre-requisites of English 30 1, Math 30 1, and medical clearance. By offering the courses after school hours, it will enable students from across ECSD to enroll in the courses. Students will be able to develop their knowledge to achieve Transport Canada requirements respecting navigation and aviation operations, along with Basic Meteorology to interpret weather information for pilots as supplied by Atmospheric Environment Services. In partnership with WestJet, students will be able to experience flight simulation and inflight experiences with trained pilots. WestJet will support this opportunity through personnel, simulator experiences, and site visitations at YEG.

14 Edmonton Catholic Schools is excited to plan for our new K-6 school in The Orchards at Ellerslie. The culture and ethos of a Catholic school evolves from its name. We want to choose a name that is meaningful to our Catholic community, and that conveys the school s identity to the broader community. We are currently taking suggestions from the public and would love to hear your voice. Visit and click on the Name our New School Banner to learn more about the guidelines and criteria. We will be accepting entries until March 31. There are so many opportunities for our students to showcase their learning. An excellent example of this is the annual Jean Forest Leadership Academy Luncheon to celebrate International Women s Day. This year's Women's Day theme is... 2 Press for Progress! and the girls of JFLA are embracing this challenge by building on their leadership and engaging in community service as students in the Academy. The guest speaker at this year s luncheon will be mental health advocate and professional photographer Blake Loates. She will be speaking about the need to Press for Progress in the fight to end the stigma of mental illness. Visit and look under What s New in the District to learn more about the luncheon and how to purchase tickets. The month of March also provides us with the opportunity to focus student learning more intentionally on the importance of numbers in our daily lives during our annual Numeracy Week event. Our students will spend time gaining an appreciation of the fact the numeracy is not just significant in math class! The year moves by so swiftly. Our year-round schools will begin their Spring Break on March 19, and our regular calendar schools will begin their break on March 26. All classes will resume on Tuesday, April 3. This is a wonderful time for students and staff to rest and recharge in preparation for the busy-ness of the last few months of school. I leave you with another passage from the Gospel of John as we continue our Lenten journey: For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. ~ John 3:16 Have a wonderful month! Sincerely, Joan Carr Superintendent
