Holodomor Memorial Day is commemorated each year on the fourth Friday of November in schools as a Day of Remembrance when we remember the millions of Ukrainians who were starved to death in Ukraine in 1932 and 1933, many of whom were children. Through Acts of Parliament, the Government of Canada recognizes The Holodomor as an act of genocide. Together with the descendants of survivors living in Canada, let us remember the victims of the Holodomor.

All schools will be closed today, as staff participates in professional development sessions.

Today we begin the season of Advent by lighting the first purple candle of the Advent wreath. This candle symbolizes Hope. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13).

Please join us in prayer on our Google Meet.

The Second Sunday of Advent our theme is Peace. Last week we focused on hope and how we can be the incarnation of that hope to those around us who are hurting. This week as we turn to look at Peace, we see that one way that we can bring that hope into the world is to be peacemakers. Peace on earth starts with us, with our attitudes towards others. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God (Matthew 5:9).

Please join us in prayer on our Google Meet.

All schools in our division will be closed today, as school staff spends the day participating in professional development sessions. 

The third Sunday of Advent symbolizes Joy. The Shepherd’s Candle reminding us of the Joy the world experienced at the coming birth of Jesus. We celebrate with joy that our hope in Christ is certain and prophecies about him are always fulfilled. As the angels proclaimed to the shepherds "do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is the Messiah, the Lord" (Luke 2: 10-11). This week let us choose to share that joy with others in doing one act of kindness for another.

Please join us in prayer on our Google Meet.

The fourth Sunday of Advent symbolizes Love. All four candles will be lit on our Advent wreath and we will have a full circle of light. The Lord brings the light of love to his people by sending His only Son to earth for our salvation. 

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." (John 3:16-17) May the love of Christ be with you and your family always.

The Feast of the Holy Family honours Jesus of Nazareth, his mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary and his foster father, St Joseph, as a family. The observance of this feast instills into Christian families the faithful love and the devoted attachment that characterizes the family of Nazareth and allows them to be the model and exemplar of all Christian families. May the Holy Family's example guide our families today with mutual love, respect and hope.

The feast of the Epiphany, which celebrates the many ways that Christ has made Himself known to the world through the visit of the Magi (Matthew 2:1-12).

The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord marks the conclusion of the Christmas Season and the beginning of Ordinary Time. It is a feast of transition from Jesus’ hidden life to that of His public ministry. It also echoes the theme of the Epiphany in that the Baptism of the Lord is another manifestation announcing Jesus’ divinity to all of His first followers and to the disciples of John the Baptist.

The Second Sunday of Easter–the final day of the Easter Octave–was inaugurated as Divine Mercy Sunday by Saint John Paul II during his homily for the canonization of St. Faustina Kowalska, April 30, 2000. St. Faustina received extraordinary messages from Jesus. Jesus asked St. Faustina to record these experiences, which she compiled into notebooks.

These notebooks contain God's loving message of Divine Mercy. Today, we continue to rely on St. Faustina as a constant reminder of the message to trust in Jesus' endless mercy and to live life mercifully toward others.

It's Pentecost, which always occurs 50 days after the death and resurrection of Jesus, and 10 days after his Ascension into heaven. Pentecost is the celebration of the Holy Spirit coming upon the Apostles, Mary and the first followers of Jesus. "By this power of the Spirit, God's children can bear much fruit. He who has grafted us onto the true vine will make us bear the fruit of the Spirit . . . love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. We live by the Spirit; the more we renounce ourselves, the more we walk by the Spirit" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 736).

All schools in our division will not be in session for the observance of Victoria Day.

"The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity," is one of the few celebrations of the Christian Year that commemorates a reality and doctrine rather than a person or event. On Trinity Sunday, we remember and honour the eternal God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Trinity Sunday is celebrated the Sunday after Pentecost, and lasts only one day, which is symbolic of the unity of the Trinity.

All schools in our division will be closed today so teachers can spend a day participating in professional development sessions. 

We celebrate The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ or Corpus Christi. It is a solemn commemoration of the institution the sacrament of the Eucharist. It is, moreover, the Church's official act of homage and joyful gratitude to Christ, who by instituting the Holy Eucharist gave to the Church her greatest devotion. "In breaking bread for his disciples, Christ gave us an example of what it means to allow oneself to be broken for the good of others," Pope Francis said on the feast of Corpus Christi (2016) explaining that it is the Eucharist which gives us the strength to do this. May we allow ourselves to be broken for the good of others - receiving strength from the Eucharist - to be the hands and feet of Christ for the world.

The Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus recalls Christ’s eternal love for us and brings the mystery of the Incarnation close to us. Jesus loved with a human heart and from the moment of his conception in Mary’s womb, the Saviour’s heart was formed and it beat with a love at once human and divine.

In Jesus, we are called to respond to God’s love with our entire being - to love one another as Christ loved. As John says there is no greater love than the sacrificial love of Christ, to lay down one's life for a friend (John 15:13). May we have the courage and compassion to love as Jesus loved.
