Walking with Christ

Walking with Christ (2021-2024) Poster: with eyes of faith and hope, with hearts of kindness and love, with minds of justice and peace.

Throughout the last three years, we have seen our schools come together in a wide variety of ways that demonstrate our collective commitment to putting faith into action, living our Catholic values and inspiring our students to achieve our Catholic Graduate Expectations.

We are confident that our Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) community will respond to our new 3-year 2021-2024 pastoral plan with the same enthusiasm and dedication.

Pastoral Plan Overview

Our TCDSB community continues to reflect our Catholic values, rooted in the love of Christ, through our everyday actions. We each have a unique and important role to play in bringing our pastoral plan to life in our schools, offices, and the greater community.

Let us continue to demonstrate our commitment to student success and well-being, and our devotion to our Catholic faith as we walk with Christ throughout the next three years.

Year 1: With Eyes of Faith and Hope

Through eyes of faith and hope​, we are invited to realize our Catholic call to service as we continue to be caring, compassionate and faithful members of our global community.

Year 2: With Hearts of Kindness and Love

With hearts of kindness and love, we walk with Christ on the path of charity, deepening our sense of understanding, belonging and care for one another in our parishes, our homes, our schools and the greater community. 

Year 3: With Minds of Justice and Peace

With minds of justice and peace, we are called to demonstrate advocacy with courage and wisdom, and take important steps to promote equity, acceptance and belonging to create a kinder, more inclusive world.

Virtual Launch

We thank everyone who participated in the launch and were honoured to have His Eminence Cardinal Thomas Collins as our keynote speaker to offer some insights into the theme for our new plan.
