Weekly Post: Feb. 24 - Feb. 28



Here is how the week is looking:

  • Monday
  • Tuesday: Shrove Tuesday & Dress Down Day
  • Wednesday: Ash Wednesday Liturgy 12:30 PM
  • Thursday:
  • Friday: 8AM Faith Friday
On Tuesday we are going to have a pancake lunch to help recognize and celebrate Shrove Tuesday. This is the day before the official start to our Easter journey. Thanks to the Social Committee for organizing!

We will also be having a staff dress down day in support of one of our families that are going through a difficult time. Ali has already sent out a message and I know that many of you have already donated to the cause. If you have donated and if you would like to donate, you are invited to participate in our Dress Down Day.

Our Faith Team has a number of things planned to help us with our own personal Lenten Journey this year. They have also come up with some charities for our school community to support based on our Catholic Graduate Expectations. Here is a breakdown of what our team is planning:
  • Faith Friday's for staff during the Lenten season. Our first FF is this Friday morning at 8AM. Please join us.
In regards to our Lenten almsgiving, we will be supporting local, national and global initiatives.

These initiatives are:
  1. The Shepard's of Good Hope
  2. Water Purifiers for Indigenous Communities in Canada's North. Providing safe and clean water for those who do not have it in our own country.
  3. Adam's Dream - Adam Kasyiwa is a Social Worker who works at Notre Dame High School. He was one of the panellists at Christian Community Day and his mission is to build a Children's Centre in Uganda that is a safe place to learn and play.
