The next Catholic Education Week will be from May 3 to May 8, 2020. 

The theme is “Igniting Hope”

During the week of May 5-10, 2019, local Catholic District School Boards within the Diocese of London celebrated the significant contribution that Catholic Education has made to the community, the province and to Canada. Catholic Graduate Expectations challenge students to articulate in society those fundamental values that underpin Catholic education.
