St. Albert Feast Day Celebration

Today, St. Albert Learning Centre proudly celebrated the Feast Day of St. Albert the Great (traditionally November 15), honouring a remarkable scholar, teacher, and advocate for lifelong learning. Since the date fell on a weekend this year, our school community came together today to celebrate in the spirit of unity, hospitality, and gratitude.
More than 80 students shared a warm lunch of homemade chicken soup and roasted red-pepper vegetable soup, enjoyed with fresh buns, reminding us that simple gatherings often create the strongest sense of belonging.
We were blessed to welcome members of our community, including:
✨ Deacon Roland from Christ the King Parish
✨ Director of Education, Mr. Morris Hucal
✨ Superintendent Paul Nalli
✨ Superintendent Natasha Folino
Their presence highlights the shared commitment to walking beside our learners and supporting their success.
A few facts about St. Albert the Great:
• He is the Patron Saint of students, teachers, and scientists.
• He believed deeply that every person can learn, regardless of background or circumstance.
• He taught that faith and knowledge work together, and encouraged curiosity, exploration, and compassion.
• He was known for meeting learners “where they were” and guiding them forward with patience and respect.
At St. Albert Learning Centre, we honour his legacy every day by:
• Providing individualized pathways for each learner.
• Encouraging inquiry, critical thinking, and personal growth.
• Creating a welcoming community where every story matters and every student can shine.
Today’s shared meal was a beautiful reminder of the community we are building, one rooted in hope, dignity, and opportunity.
Thank you to all of our dedicated staff for planning, cooking, and serving our students
