The Alberta Catholic School Trustees’ Association (ACSTA) would like to extend heartfelt congratulations to Bridget Adedayo, the recipient of the 2024-2025 Justice Kevin Feehan Scholarship. Bridget is currently in her second year at St. Mary’s University, pursuing a Bachelor of Education in Secondary Education, with a focus on English Language Arts.

Bridget’s deep commitment to Catholic education shines through in her academic pursuits and her aspiration to become a teacher in a Catholic school environment. Raised in the Catholic faith and having attended a Catholic high school, Bridget has experienced firsthand the transformative power of Catholic education. Her passion for teaching is driven by a desire to integrate her faith seamlessly into her classroom, ensuring that students not only receive academic instruction but also grow in their spiritual and personal development.

In her award application, Bridget expressed the importance of fostering an environment where students can learn about both academic subjects and the values of the Catholic Church. Her previous teaching experience in a Catholic school in Nigeria has shaped her commitment to nurturing compassionate individuals who are equipped to contribute positively to their communities and the world.

This scholarship is a testament to Bridget’s dedication to making a difference in the lives of others. The financial support provided by the Justice Kevin Feehan Scholarship will help ease the burden of her education and allow her to focus on her goals of becoming a teacher who not only imparts knowledge but also helps to shape the faith and character of her students.

We look forward to watching Bridget’s journey as she continues her studies and works toward her goal of becoming a compassionate and faith-filled educator in the Catholic school system. Her commitment to both academic excellence and her faith promises a bright future, and we are confident that she will make a lasting impact on the lives of those she teaches.

Once again, congratulations, Bridget, on this well-deserved recognition. Your dedication to both education and your faith is truly inspiring!
