Welcome to the Catholic Independent Schools of the Kamloops Diocese
Dear Students, Families, Staff, and Members of Our Catholic School Community,
As we prepare to begin another school year in our Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Kamloops, I am deeply honoured to have the opportunity to serve as your Superintendent of Schools while our current Superintendent takes a leave of absence.
Stepping into this role for this one-year appointment is both a privilege and a responsibility that I approach with great respect, humility, and gratitude. I am grateful for the confidence placed in me, and I look forward to working alongside our bishop, His Excellency, Bishop Joseph Nguyen, the CISKD Board or Directors, and the dedicated staff, students, families, priests, parish and community partners, as we continue our shared mission of providing excellent Catholic education and nurturing young people in faith, hope, and love.
Our Catholic Independent Schools of BC theme for this year, Rooted in Faith, speaks beautifully to who we are as a Catholic school community.
To be rooted in faith is to ground ourselves in the love of God and in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Like a tree with deep roots, our faith provides strength, nourishment, and direction. It allows us to stand firmly in times of challenge while continuing to reach toward the light and grow in the gifts God has given each of us.
This year, may we be rooted in the Gospel and guided by Christ’s example of compassion, forgiveness, courage, and service. May our classrooms and schools be places where faith is lived each day through prayer, relationships, generosity, inclusion, and care for those who are most vulnerable.
As we open the doors to a new school year, may we pray for our students, families, staff, and parish communities. May the Holy Spirit guide our decisions, bless our work, and inspire us to serve with generous hearts.
Let us begin this year with gratitude for the gift of Catholic education and with confidence in the promise of what lies ahead.
May we remain deeply rooted in our faith, grounded in the love of Christ, and committed to growing together as a community of hope,
Mrs Lynn Hale
