As the school year nears an end, during this beautiful season of summer, God will give us the opportunity to spend time in the outdoors, admiring nature and all its beauty.
Let us reflect upon what seeds we have planted and nurtured this school year in our inner gardens and in the hearts of others. Gracious Gardener, How wondrously You care for my soil, You send Your waters of refreshment. You fertilize me with Your wisdom. You warm me with Your tender kindness. You keep drawing us toward your light. New growth continually sprouts From the soil of my spiritual garden. Flowers of creativity bloom. Herbs of joy flavour my days. Vegetables of nourishment flourish. Gracious gardener, I trust that You will continually Water my growing garden And drench my flower beds With Your abiding love. Amen
I would like to wish each of you a wonderful summer, hoping that you will have an opportunity to spend time with friends and family. Before we know it, it will be back-to-school (whatever that might look like).
Cherish every moment of the summer. Sean Crookshank, Principal

Virtual Pilgrimage Update: We did it St. Brother Andre! Our Virtual Pilgrimage was a great success. As a school community we "walked" from our school to Saint Joseph's Oratory. Then, we went to Mont Saint-Grégoire (birthplace of St. Brother Andre). Next, we travelled to Farnham, QC (childhood hometown of St. Brother Andre). Thank-you for your participation.
