Message from the Principal

As the tradition for over 100 years, Sacred Heart School, in concert with our local parish and ever expanding family base, is blessed with to continue providing a Christ – centered, well-rounded, high quality educational alternative for the community of Wetaskiwin and surrounding area.

We see our mission as three-fold:

1.      To provide an enriched, well-rounded educational program in Academics, Arts, and Athletics in which all students may explore their God given potential within a safe and caring environment. It is our hope that our students utilize these talents for the greater good and give praise and thanks for their gifts with humble and pious hearts.

‘You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. And they do not light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that it may shine to all who are in the house. So then, let your light shine in the sight of men, so that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father, who is in heaven.’ ( Matthew 5:14-16)

2.      To prepare our students to walk in the footsteps of the Lord; to love our God with all of our heart, soul and mind and to love one another as the same. To serve one another as Jesus taught us.

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ (Matthew 22: 37-39)

‘So when he had washed their feet [and] put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them, “Do you realize what I have done  for you? You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’ and rightly so, for indeed I am. If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.’ (John 13:12-15)

 3.      To assist our students in reaching the end goal; eternal salvation.

‘Jesus said: I am the Way; I am Truth and Life. No one can come to the Father except through me.’ (John 14:6)

‘Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.’ ( Matthew 7:21)

It is important to us that our families know that this is their school – that families are our first and foremost concern and that we are here to support them in the raising of their children in a faith filled environment. Once again I thank you on behalf of our school for entrusting us with your most precious gifts – your children. We will endeavor to help you find and foster their personal gifts and talents and let their lights shine for all to see!! We will endeavor to help your children follow the teachings of Jesus, to keep to the path of eternal salvation.

Sincerely,
Kevin Prediger, Principal
Sacred Heart School
