The Ascension is celebrated 40 days after the resurrection (Easter) when Catholics celebrate the fact that Jesus returns to God after being with his disciples. The feast is sometimes recognized/celebrated on the following Sunday.
"Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools are to assist students to interpret social and human relationships in the light of the social teachings of the Catholic Church. With God as our creator, advisor, and friend, Saint Philip School provides a nurturing atmosphere where we as a faith community can grow academically secure, socially just, and spiritually fulfilled. Families, who are the primary educators for their children's academic, spiritual, and social growth, appreciate the gift of the schools, and in partnership strive to instill a healthy self-concept and encourage their children to achieve towards their full potential. Our school encourages mutual respect, fosters independent and cooperative learning, and models strong Christian values. The church proclaims God's greatness. As children of God, we are nourished and sustained, and we are to go forth to love and serve the Lord and one another."
