What's Heating Up at Holy Spirit
April 19-23
The Lord is my Shepheard; I shall not want. - Psalm 23:1 -
Third Sunday of Easter
Gospel Reading Luke 24:35-48
Jesus appears again to his disciples and shares a meal with them.
Jesus came to the disciples at a time of great fear after witnessing the death of someone they loved. Jesus greets his disciples with the words, “Peace be with you” to help bring them comfort. Imagine Jesus saying "Peace be with you" to help bring a sense of calmness when you are afraid. We pray that those words help bring you peace and comfort as we continue to navigate this global pandemic together.

Virtual Public Board Meeting
Thank you for supporting the Terry Fox run
Good afternoon,
It is during the most difficult of times that we see the human spirit shine and 17 schools in the Elk Island Catholic Separate Regional Division shined bright in 2020 raising an incredible $14676.5 for cancer research. We are so honoured to know that our Terry Fox schools support Terry’s mission of finding a cure for cancer come rain or shine.
In 1980, Terry Fox set out on a mission to transform his dream, to find a cure for cancer, into reality. Terry never faltered in his determination and perseverance and we are honoured to see the Elk Island Catholic Separate Regional Division family of schools bring the same strength and spirit to this fight 40 years later. This continued support has led to over $800 million dollars raised for cancer research in Terry’s name.
As we all continue amidst these uncertain times, one thing is certain…patients everywhere continue to battle cancer and we cannot let them down. Terry wanted to set an example that would never be forgotten and that example continues on in the spirit, passion and determination of your schools as they fundraise to fight the battle alongside all those cancer patients who count on us for hope and one day…a cure.
With heartfelt thanks,
Oscar Andrade
