Prayer for God's Guidance
Father in Heaven,
You made me Your child and called me to walk in the Light of Christ.
Free me from darkness and keep me in the Light of Your Truth.
The Light of Jesus has scattered the darkness of hatred and sin.
Called to that Light, I ask for Your guidance.
Form my life in Your Truth, my heart in Your Love.
Through the Holy Eucharist, give me the power of Your Grace that I may walk in
the Light of Jesus and serve Him faithfully.
AMEN

Reminders and Resources: Cold and Flu Season
As cold and flu season approaches, the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board continues to be vigilant in ensuring that our schools
are clean and that our school communities are educated regarding good hand hygiene and cough etiquette. These practices are
promoted on an ongoing basis, but as the prevalence of colds and flu increases, our board increases the cleaning of contact surfaces, as
well as reminds schools to review cold and flu prevention with students and staff. Many resources are utilized from our regional health
units.
A reminder, as well, that communicable diseases can be contracted in public places throughout the year. For example, cold-related
viruses, such as Enterovirus, are transferred from person to person through hand contact. Cold and flu viruses typically peak from
December through February, but can start as early as October.
Flu Clinics Also available on the Peel Health website, are the schedules of local Flu Clinics.
