“But Jesus overheard what they said and he said to the president of the synagogue, ‘Do not be afraid; only have faith.” -Mark 5: 36
Dear Families,
“Do not be afraid; only have faith”. Could there be a better bible verse to sum up our school year together? In dealing with a pandemic year with a new principal who was unknown to you, you have had to put your faith in God and in the school to ensure your child’s well being and education. I could not be more grateful for your cooperation and support this year. I truly am appreciative of Father Matthew, the staff and the community for the success of this school year. Everyone has come together to make the best of the situation for our children.
To our Grade Sevens, the end of your time at St. Patrick’s has come and for some of your families, it also means moving on for them. We have been blessed with your leadership this year and pray that God continues to guide you. Know that you are always welcome back and that your parish and school community are here cheering you on.
To our families who are leaving us, we wish you all the best in your new endeavours.
I wish you all a wonderful and relaxing summer. The office will be open until July 9th for any questions you may have or if you require dropping off or picking up items. Office hours from July 2 – 9 are 9am – 3pm. We re-open again August 23rd.
May God bless you and your families and keep you safe through your summer adventures.
We look forward to seeing you in September!
Yours In Christ,
Mrs. Maria Fonseca

Food Donation for Saint Vincent de Paul
Our leadership team, under the guidance of Mrs. Cheng and Mr. Geary, has been instrumental in donating to several charities this year, one of them being St. Vincent de Paul. The SVdP Society services individuals and families who do not qualify for the government food programs but need help in making ends meet. They presented the team with a certificate for all their hard work.
Our team would like to do one FINAL collection this year as the SVdP pantry is bare for the summer. Please send non-perishable food items to the school Monday or Tuesday. Thank you on behalf of SVdP.
