He's on a fast track to Sainthood.

His story is one of the most striking of recent Venerable figures, and although it has gained quite a bit of notoriety, there's still quite a lot who are unaware of it, so I made this thread to help spread it.

Bl. Acutis, Ora Pro Nobis

The best leaders understand one truth:

People are at the center.

Btw, I have a gift for you in my bio link :)

All Saints Day…live your goodness, as “we are all Saints in the making”.

[Halton Catholic DSB @HCDSB]

Today, on #AllSaintsDay, we honour & celebrate the men and women who have been canonized as saints by the Church, and all those whose lives reflect the goodness of God. We are all saints in the making when we live out the Gospel of Jesus in our every day lives!

Love the idea of EDvisor Chatbot to help teachers navigate some situations and find potential solutions.

Constructing prompts with a specific word length and comparing it with a similar prompt with a different set word length, discuss how that may impact understanding of the key ideas and details. #BOLTT2024

I promised to do a residential school denialism wrap-up thread, debriefing and revealing the denialism we saw in September with receipts, so here we go. I hope this is helpful to share etc. Sadly, there is too much to cover, so I’ve limited it to some representative samples 🧵

[Sean Carleton @SeanCarleton]

First, residential school denialism is NOT the denial of the IRS system’s existence. Instead, denialism is a strategy to twist/distort/misrepresent basic facts to shake public confidence in truth and reconciliation and protect Canada’s colonial status quo: https://t.co/jpfQCexdYQ

The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary.

“There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary.” 

Ven. Sister Lucia of Fatima

[Halton Catholic DSB @HCDSB]

Tomorrow, our #HCDSB community will acknowledge #OrangeShirtDay and National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. Join us tomorrow as we reflect on the impact of the residential school system, and honour the victims, survivors and lost children. #EveryChildMatters

Being "nice" is hurting your leadership -

Nice leaders want to be liked.

Kind leaders build trust

Choose the harder path.

Be kind.
