Here is a great opportunity to buy Advent and Christmas plants and wreaths, all the while supporting the great work of our CSCC!

Bishop Pocock School We are selling beautiful Poinsettias, wreaths, planters and greenery to raise money for our cause. By purchasing a poinsettia this Winter, not only will you be spreading holiday cheer, you will also be supporting an amazing cause! Ordering and Paying online makes this a COVID safe fundraiser.

On Thursday, our CSCC rewarded our students with a treat to celebrate reaching our first fundraising goal in our Schools Win Twice fundraising campaign! Thank you, School Council.

We are thankful that our community continues to embrace the lottery and its benefits for our students.

As of today, the 50/50 jackpot has grown to $41,890, with the winner receiving half of that. The prizes are amazing and the chance of winning are very good.

Please continue to support our fundraising efforts. Best of luck to you!

Sacramental Opportunities at Holy Spirit Parish

2021 INFANT BAPTISM

If you have a child under 7 and would like to baptize him/her we celebrate infant baptisms throughout the year.

Baptism Celebrations: Currently we are celebrating baptisms once a month in a group setting usually one Sunday a month at 1:30 pm.

Baptism Prep Sessions:

If you are new parents and/or have not taken any baptism prep sessions we request you attend the sessions. If you have attended a baptism preparation session in the past 2 years you may not need to take prep sessions before the baptism.

This program is intended for:

Kindergarten Registration
We look forward to welcoming you in the fall. Learn more about Catholic education, find a school near you, and virtually see your classroom and meet your teacher.

Our Kindergarten registration is ongoing and our Virtual Open House is Wednesday, April 28 at 7 pm. Participants must contact the school to register. Please pass on the invitation to anyone with a child starting kindergarten this fall.

We are observing Earth Day one day early (Wednesday) because of the nicer weather. Our students and staff will be picking up any garbage on the school grounds and in the park. To be environmentally friendly, we are inviting (and encouraging) students to bring their own work gloves/mini-mitts/washable gloves from home. If this is not possible, disposable gloves will be provided.

Our Tiger virtue in April is Gratitude. How fitting!

As the Octave of Easter ends, so does the Easter break. Time to set those alarms for Monday morning.

Remember to do a daily health check and stay home if you're not feeling well. https://go.gscs.ca/dailyhealth

Our students are preparing to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord this weekend by decorating Easter eggs and making Easter cards for the residents and staff at St. Ann’s Home.

A heartfelt thank you to all of the Bishop Pocock parents and CSCC for honouring each staff member during staff appreciation week. We are so blessed, and it is a privilege to work with your children every day.
