Today our parish team - well really Stephanie and Fr. Sherwin ... with some assistance from Denyse Hinca, Nicholas our organist, and myself - are running a field trip day for the grade 7's from St. Nicholas School. This is part of Dufferin Peel Catholic District School Board's efforts to increase the Catholicity of our schools. The Board is encouraging School - Parish links in grade 7 (and I think grade 11) so that students will know the history of the Archdiocese of Toronto as well as their local parish history.
Not only will the day offer a time of learning of the history of our parish, its formation, its building, etc., we are also taking some time to practice the new parts of the mass with these students, so that they will be leaders in the school...
A neat day - with a great group of energetic students!
Peace
