<h2 class="editor-heading-h2" style="text-align: center;"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Catholic Education Week 2026 - Short Film</strong></b></h2><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As we begin Catholic Education Week, from May 10 to 17, 2026, we reflect on the theme Pilgrims of Hope: On the Path to Holiness / Pèlerins de l’Espoir: Sur le Chemin de la Sainteté. This theme calls us to live as pilgrims on a journey of faith, where hope is rooted in the love of the Risen Jesus. With the Holy Spirit guiding us, we are invited to become more fully the people God has created us to be. Across Saskatchewan, the eight Catholic school divisions are walking the path of Truth and Reconciliation. Rooted in Catholic faith and guided by Indigenous ways of knowing, we are embracing this journey with authenticity—not just through words, but through real experiences for staff and students.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">During Catholic Education Week, we show these films to help us learn how God teaches us to listen, respect, and heal. They show students, families, and staff what reconciliation looks like in practice. Pope Francis teaches us that healing and reconciliation grow when we take real steps. Learning should be authentic and bring people together through real encounter and truth.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In that way, the films support the Church’s call to healing and reconciliation through shared understanding, and they help school communities respond to the Pope’s 2022 apology by continuing the work of truth and renewal.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In this short film, the wind shows us how hope works on our journey to holiness. Just like the wind can blow in any direction, God’s Spirit moves in ways we can’t always see, but we can feel it in our hearts. When our schools listen to survivors, learn Indigenous languages, and stand up for fairness, we’re not just learning facts—we’re letting God’s love grow inside us. Hope never lets us down; it gives us the strength to keep going even when things feel sad. The wind that carries stories is also the Spirit that clears the clouds, lights our inner fire, and helps us move forward together. May this film lift our spirits, make us stronger, and help us walk the path of reconciliation with courage, kindness, and hope—toward holiness.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Created by the Saskatchewan Catholic School Boards Association (SCSBA) Indigenous Leadership Team in partnership with the Saskatchewan Knights of Columbus Charitable Foundation, this short film honours World Catholic Education Week in Saskatchewan. Inspired by the 2022 Papal visit and apology, it reflects a collective commitment to learning, listening, and walking together in Faith, Truth, and Reconciliation.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Click on the image below to view the video</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><figure><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-48PDnyzQfw" target="_blank" title="Video"><img src="/images/2fe71506-2755-4db0-ac1f-f3288103918a?fingerprint=ppb20260504191218" alt="Video" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></a></figure></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>

Believe... Belong... Become...
Christ the Teacher Catholic Schools is a Catholic School Division serving the communities of Melville, Theodore, and Yorkton in East Central Saskatchewan. We serve the educational needs of approximately 1750 students from prekindergarten to grade twelve. French Immersion programming is offered in both Yorkton and Melville. In Yorkton, our high school programming is provided at Sacred Heart High School and Dreambuilders High School, and in Melville our high school students are educated at the Melville Comprehensive High School through a partnership agreement with the Good Spirit School Division. We invite you to explore the website of our division and of each of our schools. Doing so, we believe, will help you to understand how we are working to fulfill our mission of engaging and challenging all learners, modelling and forming character, and knowing Christ and making Him known in our Christ-centred learning environments. If you have any questions about any of our schools, please contact us directly and we would be happy to provide the information you are looking for. Barbara MacKesey Director of Education
