Our school office will be open for the rest of June from 7:30-3:30 pm and on an as needed basis during July. We will be checking emails regularly. In August we return again 7:30-3:30 pm. Please don't hesitate to contact us!

We will be sending another Constant Contact as we get closer to the first day of school. Until then, we wish you and your families a safe and relaxing summer!
Prayers
Please join us in praying for the grandfather of Samantha (Gr.7) and Sydney (2018) Johnson and Bryson (Gr. 5) Cooper who went to heaven last week, for Mrs. Carroll as she recovers from illness, for the special intentions of our school and parish staff, for all our families and friends, for the needs and cares of others, and for all those who are suffering from illness, loss, loneliness or other challenges. May God keep us all in His tender and loving care.
