Posted on October 29, 2018November 1, 2018 by Carlee Vendramin

All Sudbury Catholic District School Board staff gathered together on October 26 for the annual Faith PA day celebration! The day started with a Mass led by Bishop Marcel Damphousse. A Choir made up of SCDSB staff also joined in, providing us with many wonderful songs to complete our Eucharistic celebration. Following the Mass, Dr. Ian Manion, a psychologist and BellLetsTalk panelist, provided a thought-provoking and powerful presentation about the importance of mental health and wellbeing.

The afternoon consisted of break-sessions where staff were able to sign up for an activity. Sessions ranged from yoga and physical fitness activities, sports games, mental health and wellbeing talks and even an escape room!

We thank all staff who attended the day and fully embraced the theme of wellness, and all those who helped organize the days events and activities!

St. David Catholic School held an Ash Wednesday celebration to mark the beginning of the season of Lent. Lent is a time when Catholics prepare for Easter by fasting, repentance and moderation. In the Old Testament, people used ashes as a sign of repentance.

The students and staff of St. David Catholic School spoke about how to better walk with God in practical terms. This means being kind to each other and supporting each other in times of need. According to the school vice principal, Mr. Colin Lapalme, “As a school community, it is beautiful when we can come together and celebrate our faith”.
