Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools Steps Up in Big Ways

Greater St. Albert Catholic School Division stepped up in a big way to support the girls of Our Lady of Kibeho Orphanage. Inspired by Isaiah 1:17 (Learn to do good, seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow) the students and staff of St. Albert Catholic raised close to $6000 for our Foundation.

Board members of Our Lady of Kibeho Orphanage Foundation made a presentation to the administrators of the St. Albert school district detailing the needs of the orphanage. This message was shared with all schools.

At the district’s Opening Mass in September 2023, staff donated $1516.31. Another collection was taken up the following year in September 2024, with $1 222.70 raised.

What is special is that OLOKFoundation became the recipient of an Advent fundraising campaign in 2024. Students were also encouraged to pray for the young girls at the Orphanage in Uganda.

The Foundation here in Canada and the girls and staff at Our Lady of Kibeho Orphanage in Uganda are so grateful for the compassion shown by the staff and students of Greater St. Albert Catholic School Division. Bless you all!
