On December 10, Pius XII School came together as a community to celebrate the second week of Advent during their school-wide mass.

A special thank you to Father Sam from Holy Redeemer Church, Sudbury for presiding, Ms. Filice and the Grade 5/6 class for organizing, Ms. Schiafone and her Grade 6 helpers for handling the technology, the Pius Choir for their beautiful music, and Ms. Minor and her Grade 3 class for bringing the Living Nativity to life.

It was a wonderful display of faith and community spirit.

St. David School Explores the Catholic Connection to Halloween

Posted on by Erin Kendall

Did you know? Halloween originates from All Hallows’ Eve, the evening before All Saints’ Day, when Catholics honour those we acknowledge as Saints who have passed on to their heavenly home. Following this, on November 2, the Church observes All Souls Day to remember all the other faithful departed and offer prayers on their behalf for the Angels to lead them safely to their heavenly home.

St. David School recently hosted Joan Yawney-Matz, Religious Education and Faith Consultant for the Sudbury Catholic District School Board, to discuss the Catholic significance of Halloween. Joan engaged students in a presentation, highlighting the connections between Halloween, All Saints’ Day, and All Souls’ Day.

Her presentation focused on the importance of saints in the Catholic Faith, paying particular attention to St. David, the school’s namesake. Overall, the session enriched the class’s understanding of the holiday and deepened their appreciation for the saints who have preceded us.

Thank you to Ms. Yawney-Matz for contributing to our student’s learning experience and holiday celebrations!

St. Paul Students Celebrate World Mental Health Day with Nature Walk

Posted on by Erin Kendall

St. Paul Catholic Elementary School’s Grade 2/3 class celebrated World Mental Health Day with a nature walk scavenger hunt. The students guided by Ms. Pigozzo enjoyed fresh air and physical activity, while learning how nature can reduce stress and boost mood.

During the walk, students worked together to find different items, sparking curiosity, teamwork, and observation skills. Back in the classroom, they wrote about what they saw, heard, and felt, then shared their stories with their classmates, fostering a sense of connection and enhancing communication through storytelling.

This activity raised mental health awareness while giving the class a chance to reflect, connect, and learn in a fun, hands-on way. Well done, Panthers!

St. Paul Catholic School Surpasses Fundraising Goal at Terry Fox Event

Posted on by Erin Kendall

St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Elementary School proudly participated in the Terry Fox School Run last week. Over the past 11 years, the school has raised more than $23,000 in support of the Terry Fox Foundation. This year, they not only met but surpassed their fundraising goal of $800, coming together to raise over $1,400 for cancer research!

To celebrate this amazing achievement, eight lucky students got the chance to pie a teacher (and if they were lucky a principal) as a fun reward for their efforts.

A heartfelt thank you to the dedicated teachers and staff for organizing this event and supporting such an important cause. The Sudbury Catholic District School Board would also like to make a special shoutout to St. Paul staff members, Lisa Dubien and Julie Hayes, who have been leading this event for the past seven years. Thank you for all that you do!
