Dear St. Francis of Assisi students and families,
Prayer God of love and justice, We remember all men and women who died in defense of our country and its freedom. Help us to honour their sacrifice through prayers and actions for peace in our world. Send us your Spirit to help us let go of misunderstandings, hatred and prejudice so that we may grow together as one family. Guide our steps in the way of peace. We ask this prayer through Jesus Christ, The Prince of Peace. Amen. Remembrance Day Our Remembrance Day Liturgy will be held on Thursday November 7th at 10:30 am in the small gym. All are welcome. A reminder that there is No School on Friday November 8, Monday November 11, or Tuesday November 12. Student Led Conferences Parents are invited, and encouraged, to attend Student Led Conferences on Wednesday November 6th, from 3:30 pm to 8:00 pm. We are not taking appointments; please come and meet the teachers and see what your students have been learning! Report Cards and School Photos/Student IDs will also be available to pick up, when you arrive. Please stop by the office to pick the report card, and photos. See you on Wednesday! CEAY Information The Catholic Education Association of the Yukon website is a source you may be interested in visiting regarding Catholic Education in the Yukon.

This is a positive opportunity to celebrate and promote cultural pride, by encouraging Indigenous peoples to share their stories through their moccasins. Advent candles and wreaths for sale! Advent is less than a month away! We are selling 4-piece candle sets and metal wreaths!
Advent is a four-week season in the Church calendar (the start of a new liturgical year) dedicated to anticipating the arrival, or "advent," of Jesus of Nazareth. Actively participate in advent by lighting a candle each Sunday during advent. This year advent starts on Sunday December 1st.
