We Remember

Last week ended with a fun All Saints Day Party with all the primary students going from station to station, during the afternoon. Thanks to all the parents who helped their child get dressed as their favourite Holy Hero - it made the day more enjoyable as we watched all the different Saints walking around!


Also on Friday, Sister Mary Bethany's students presented a Saints Museum in which we heard from 8 students and some interesting facts about their Saint. For example, one student explained the history of St.Valentine and gave out a tattoo to each student.

 


Another student who shared how St. Marie Rose Durocher (from Quebec, Canada!) cured her Dad's illness. She was generous enough to give each student a prayer card!
