STAR Catholic Reflection Day 2025
Posted
On Friday, August 29, 2025, our STAR Catholic community came together for Catholic Education Reflection Day, a meaningful opportunity to pause, pray, and reflect on the gift of Catholic education.
The day began with Morning Prayer, uniting participants in gratitude and faith as we prepared to journey together. Greetings from the Board followed, affirming the vital role of Catholic education in forming students academically, spiritually, and morally.
Superintendent Laurie Kardynal welcomed all in attendance and introduced this year’s theme: “Encounter God’s Beauty.” In her reflection, she shared how we encounter God’s beauty in everyday life, in one another, and in small moments, reminding us that Catholic education is rooted in awe, wonder, and faith.
Our keynote speaker, Dr. ValLimar Jansen, inspired participants with her dynamic and faith-filled message. Through story, song, and witness, she invited us to live with joy and hope, carrying Christ’s light into our classrooms and communities.
Reflection Day is a cherished tradition for STAR Catholic, a chance to step back from the busyness of daily routines and reconnect with the heart of our mission: to educate in the light of Christ.
