Our Evergreen Catholic Schools faith theme for 2016-2017 is Rejoicing in God's Mercy.   The theme was chosen to highlight the Jubilee of Mercy (December 2015 through November 2016) proclaimed by Pope Francis.   The scripture verse that supports our theme is from St. Paul's Letter to the Romans (Romans 15.13):   May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

​We believe that our academic and personal success is built on a foundation of faith, integrity, life-long learning, mutual respect, and stewardship.  We strive to uphold the teachings of our Savior, Jesus, in every aspect of our grade 5 through grade 12 school community.

Fr. Gerard Redmond, C.Ss.R (1907-1983), was a Catholic priest of the Redemptorist religious order who played a key role in the initial development of a Catholic school system in Hinton, Alberta.  He was pastor of Our Lady of the Foothills Parish in Hinton from 1964 – 1970 and from 1980 -1983. Born in Quebec, he grew up in Riviere Qui Barre, Alberta before studying for the priesthood.  Fr. Gerard loved to sing and played several musical instruments.  He played baseball and hockey as a young man, and later golf. In a 1981 interview, Fr. Redmond described himself as a renaissance man, because he was interested in everything and still learning.​ ​​
