This Week at École OLPH School

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School

Our Lady of Perpetual Help school is committed to quality education in both official languages fostering in our students respect for life and learning as Christ taught us.

Dear Parents and Students of Our Lady of Perpetual Help,

As Halloween approaches, we know our students are excited for the fun and festivities that come with it. It’s a joyful time for children to enjoy costumes and treats, but it also serves as a reminder of something more important. The very next day, November 1, we celebrate All Saints’ Day, one of the major feast days in the Church. It’s a time to honor all the saints—those known and unknown—who have shown us the way to live in Christ’s love.

Let’s enjoy the fun of Halloween while keeping our eyes on the deeper meaning of this season of faith. (And remember, let's keep costumes appropriate and let's leave costume weapons at home!)

In Christ,

Mr. Johnson
