St. Francis Weekly Email - Sept 25-29

9/26/2023

 
Prayer on Orange Shirt Day 
​
Vibrant God 
Your creation explodes with the colours of the rainbow 
Your peoples reveal the beauty of diversity 
We remember today when the joy and dignity of a precious child was destroyed. 
We lament today for the childhoods lost through the residential school system. 
We mourn for the spirits crushed and the futures compromised. 
Celebrate the hope and joy of every child 
Tell the stories of resistance that make us stronger 
Build the bonds of solidarity to ensure “never again” 
In the name of the one who was child among us 
Amen. 
 
Liturgy and Orange Shirt Day 
On Friday we will have our Truth and Reconciliation Liturgy at 10 am. Students are also encouraged to wear orange shirts to remember and honour the children who attended Residential Schools. Our school has also raised the Every Child Matters flag for Truth and Reconciliation Week. 
 
Sexual Education Letter  
Please click here to see a letter from Yukon Education that describes the sexual health curriculum in Yukon Schools. This letter can also be found on our website here. 
 
Informal Reports 
Informal Reports and Behaviors for Success will be going home this week. Some teachers are sending emails, and some will send their report in the mail.  
 
St. Francis Feast and Celebration 
Save the Date!! On Wednesday October 4, our feast to celebrate St. Francis will occur at 5:00 pm in the cafeteria. You are all invited to join us.  
 
Catechesis
