As a Division, we have the privilege of helping students see themselves as Christ for others and as bearers and deliverers of His love and life-giving touch.
Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools’ three-year faith theme for 2023-2026 is Growing in the Trinity: Love, Mercy & Grace
The three themes are connected by their invitation for all to “Grow in the Trinity” and to respond to God’s voice through action. Each year’s scripture provides some insight into the overall theme.
- Year 1: 2023-24 Growing in Love
“…I say to you, arise!” (Luke 7:14)
“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are.” (1 John 3:1)
NMR's Specific Goal:
At Neil M Ross students, staff and parents know, model, and witness Jesus Christ through our theme of Growing in the Trinity: Love, Mercy & Grace, as Jesus calls us to do through prayer and almsgiving, to realize all things are possible through God.
- Year 2: 2024-25 Growing in Mercy
“Arise! I have appointed you as a witness of what you have seen.” (Acts 26:16)
“...be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, as God in Christ has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)
- Year 3: 2025-26 Growing in Grace
“Mary arose and went with haste.” (Luke 1:39)
Haste…the Good News of Jesus Christ inspires and ignites an excitement, and we are compelled to respond with immediacy, to “Go with God.” Like Mary after the annunciation, or the disciples who ran to the empty tomb, our joy animates us to “go” with haste to share the joy and love of the Gospels.

As a Catholic school jurisdiction, Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools has a unique opportunity to engage, encourage, and support the young people for whom we care in the development of a relationship with Jesus Christ. This opportunity extends - by way of our joint mission and collaborative partnership between school, home, and parish - to all members of our Catholic educational community…including families and staff.
“If you can feel God’s immense love for every living creature…then you will be able to…bring his life to those of your friends…who suffer or have lost faith and hope.”
