Humans of ECSD explores the personal experience of students and staff at Edmonton Catholic Schools. The launch of this annual project coincides with Catholic Education Week and provides an opportunity to articulate the unique blessing that is Catholic education.

Every year Catholics across the globe, through the celebration of Catholic Education Week, give thanks for the gift of Catholic education which has served nations for centuries through teaching students in their faith.

In our Catholic faith, Mary, the Mother of God, plays a central role for us. Through her “yes” to God, salvation was born into this world in the person of Jesus. We begin our calendar year with the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, and have many other special days to honour her.
