Social Outreach
Catholic Education Week
May 1-6
Our Youth Faith
Ambassadors have
organized a social
outreach initiative where
they will be collecting
non-perishable food
items and school
supplies to support Dr.
Simone’s Food for
Children.

…please see letter for
details

Also, when visiting the
school, please take a look
at our lost and found items,
as those items not claimed
will also be donated to
charity.
Our Catholic schools are, by definition,
faith-based schools, firmly birthed in the
Gospel Values of Jesus Christ. What we
enjoy today is due to a history of sacrifice
and determination and the extraordinary
work of Bishops, Sisters, Brothers, priests
and lay men and women to build and
preserve Catholic Education in the face of
all forms of opposition, both political and
legal.
The five sub-themes for each day of
Catholic Education Week are:
Monday: Mercy that Welcomes
(Jesus and the Woman at the Well: John 4: 1-42)
Tuesday: Mercy that Loves
(The Good Samaritan: Luke 10:25-37)
Wednesday: Mercy that Forgives
(The Prodigal Son: Luke 15:11-32)
Thursday: Mercy that Lives the Gospel
(Zacchaeus: Luke 19:1-10)
Friday: Mercy that Rejoices
(Healing of the Paralytic: Luke 5: 17-26)
Every year, the Ontario Catholic School
Trustees’ Association (OCSTA) provides our
Catholic schools with a resource kit to help
schools prepare for Catholic Education
Week. Using these resources as well as our
own developed activities we have prepared
a series of activities which will highlight
how our school is ‘Opening Doors of Mercy’.
Opening Doors of
Mercy
“Blessed are the merciful, for they will
receive mercy.”
(Matthew 5:7)
Our school community will celebrate
Catholic Education Week 2016 through a
variety of ways. See details enclosed in
this pamphlet. Please join us!
Principal’s Message
During Catholic Education Week, all
Catholic schools in Ontario celebrate the
unique qualities of our Catholic teachings.
This week allows us to come together and
celebrate our faith and how we live
together in Christ. The Faith life in our
school is thriving. Through liturgical
celebrations, our Virtues Program and
through social outreach, we are living out
our faith journey each day. Every day of
Catholic Education Week provides us with
a focus for the journey that we embark
upon together.
It is our hope, here at St. Marguerite
Bourgeoys Catholic Elementary School,
that you come and join us at some point
this week to celebrate our journey as a
school community. There are many
activities taking place this week at our
school to which you are invited! We thank
you for choosing a Catholic education for
your child/children!
