Dear
Parents/Guardians,
May
has
already
begun
and
it
has
been
a
very
busy
time
for
our
community.
On
May
1st,
Pope
John
Paul
II
was
beatified.
This
is
a
blessed
event
for
us
as
we
are
invited
to
be
part
of
the
process
which
will
lead
to
his
canonization.
May
we
work
to
exemplify
the
qualities
that
Pope
John
Paul
II
demonstrated
throughout
his
lifetime.
We
are
also
asked
to
pause
and
celebrate
our
system
with
Catholic
Education
Week.
This
is
an
excellent
opportunity
for
all
of
us
to
proclaim
to
the
Catholic
community
of
Ontario
and
indeed
to
all
Ontarians,
that
we
are
proud
to
celebrate
our
students,
our
teachers,
our
support
staff,
our
administrators,
our
parents,
our
Trustees,
as
we
work
together
in
this
magnificent
enterprise,
the
“enduring
gift“
of
Catholic
Education.
Please
see
the
prayer
above.
This
special
prayer
has
been
composed
for
our
school
community
by
our
staff.
They
have
also
adapted
it
as
a
song
which
we
shared
as
we
celebrated
the
Beatification
of
Pope
John
Paul
II.
We
are
indeed
very
fortunate
to
be
part
of
such
a
vibrant,
talented
community.
