-Raider's Weekly-

As we enter into the months of November/December, the weather can be so unpredictable at best, so have your child dress appropriately. Please ensure your child has a warm coat, hat, and gloves as they leave in the morning. I would like to remind parents to please label their child’s clothes and boots. It can be really confusing at the end of the day when six children are looking for similar boots different only in size. Thank you for everyone's help.

The word Catholic comes from combining two Greek words, katha and holos literally means ‘gathering in the whole’ or more colloquially, ‘all are welcome.’ The implication is that all people are welcome, bonding as a united community amid great diversity.

Jesus said, "Marriage is for people here on earth. But in the age to come, those who are raised from the dead will not marry or be married. Not only that, but they will never die again. They will live forever as the children of God." (Luke 20:36)

On Sunday, November 13 we celebrate Catholic Education Sunday.

We celebrate our mission of creating disciples and the blessing of our Catholic Schools as an instrument to hand on our faith through witness, worship and service.“To teach is to collaborate with God. Each teacher works with God to help each student become all God created that child to be.”

On November 11 @ 11:00AM, please remember to take a moment of silence in honour of vetrans who have sacrificed so much in the name of Liberty and Freedom.
