Reconciliation
On March 10th at 1:00 we are very blessed to have Fr. John from St.
Leonard Parish join us for a celebration of Reconciliation. During Lent is
a perfect time for us to reflect on how we hurt our relationship with God
each time we sin. We turn to Him through the Sacrament and ask for
God’s healing and peace. Together as a community we will pray and journey through an examination
of conscience. Following this Fr. John will hear private confessions and together we will experience
the great joy in God forgiveness and mercy.

The Great Gulp Event
On Wednesday, March 23rd Sacred Heart will be participating in “The Great
Gulp”. The Region of Peel is sponsoring this event to help create awareness about the importance of Peel drinking water in our lives and to promote
action to improve water resources. Students are asked to please bring in a
reusable water bottle that day. We will fill up our reusable water bottles
and join a network of schools in Peel as they sip, drink and gulp in celebration of tap water! Thank you for your support.
Grant us wisdom to know
what we must do,
the will to want to do it,
the courage to undertake it,
the perseverance to
continue to do it,
and the strength
to complete it.
Amen.

Congratulations to the Sacred Heart Storm junior girls and boys basketball teams on their successful
seasons. Both teams competed in the Pod D mini tournament on February 11. The girls and the boys
displayed great teamwork, awesome hustle, and terrific sportsmanship!
The boys went 4 – 0, and had a thrilling game against St. Cecilia. At the half we trailed by a score of 6 –
1. In the second half the team gradually came back, but was still behind by a point with only a couple of
seconds left on the clock when Adam M. made an excellent pass to Collin D. for the game winner! The
boys played beautifully in the third game against St. Joachim, led by the amazing outside shooting of
Jaiden C.M. In the championship game the Storm won again in a re-match versus St. Cecilia.
In the afternoon our girls’ team took to the court, and they also had some extremely competitive games.
The first game against St. Joachim was neck and neck until the very end, but the opposition was able to
pull out a victory in the last few minutes. The Storm girls were victorious in our second contest, coming
through with a tough win versus St. Cecilia. Our final game was against Lester B. Pearson, which was
the number one team in the tournament. Our girls definitely held their own, only trailing by 2 points at the
half, and coming closer to the eventual victors than any other team. In the end they were third in the tournament, and they should be proud of their tenacious play! Team members were: Kathleen B., Carissa B.,
Jackie P., Emily P., Sophia B., April M-H., Megan H., Leah C., Sara R., and Elissa H-M. Way to go
Storm!!
As a result of their win at the mini tournament the boys advanced to the BNE Family Finals on February
26. The boys gave it their all in four hard fought games, but unfortunately came out with a 1 and 3 record.
The team played well and worked hard all the way to the buzzer in all of their games.
The highlight of the tournament for Sacred Heart came in their comeback win against St. Leonard
School. Adam B. scored the winning basket with two seconds on the clock to cement a 13 – 11 victory.
Team members for the Storm were Jaiden C.M., Jamal R., Matthew M., Matthew B., Collin D., Eric H.,
Andrew A., Adam M., Adam B., and Roldan M. Mr. Blackmore, Mrs. Morton, Mrs. Altobelli, and Mrs.
Callahan are extremely proud of the boys progress this season and also their never say die spirit!
