The GLOW
Welcome Back!

Welcome Back!
Elk Island Catholic's theme this year is "Go Light Our World" based on scripture from Matthew 5:16. This theme encourages us to shine our own light and spread that light to others to shine also.
We are grateful that you have chosen Catholic Education. We commit to work together to provide a great faith based education in a safe and caring environment.
Blessings,
Mrs. Aoife Cahill
Principal
