 An
End of Year Message from
Bill Hall,
Chair, Board of Trustees
It is hard to believe that we have already
reached the end of another school year and what a year it has been!
The months have been filled with tremendous
accomplishments, of which we should be very proud.
Virtually every single day we found
something significant to celebrate among the remarkable
accomplishments our staff and students.
It has been a pleasure for me to meet so
many staff in person as I journeyed from school to school over the
past year. I have seen first-hand our faith-filled schools and the
dedicated staff who make such a difference in every classroom. For
this and for everything you do, I say thank you.
We must always remember that Catholic
education is a wonderful gift, forged over the past 175 years in the
province of Ontario.
We must cherish it, guard it and protect
it.
We must help it continue to grow and to
flourish.
With your help and your support, it will
continue to be strong.
Have a wonderful summer. You have earned
it.

 An
An End of Year Message from Wilma de Rond, Director of
Education
The end of a school year means different
things to each of us. Some of us will be moving on to new places,
others to new responsibilities. We give thanks for the blessings of
the past school year and we invite our gracious God to continue with
us as we journey through the changes that the summer will bring.
There are so many reasons for us to give
thanks: for the members of our home, school parish and community and
for all those entrusted with the mission of education in the light
of faith.
As the school year draws to a close, I
thank each of you for what you have accomplished in Christ. Thank
you’ to the staff, students, parents, volunteers and supporters.
Thank you to our clergy and parish teams. Together we have done
great things and you should all be very proud of what we have
accomplished.
This summer prayer, author unknown,
reflects the hopes and sentiments of many of us:
“Long warm days...The pace of life
slows... Lord, help me to rest awhile in the cooling shade of your
presence. Slow down my restless heart and fill me with gentle
compassion for all your people. Amen.”
Until we meet again, renewed and refreshed
and energized to do the work of God, I pray that each of you will
have a holy and a safe summer.
May God Bless.

community - staff, students, parents, and community agencies - have
a role to play in making our schools a safe place in which to learn.
