“As we come together in community, we recognize that: The very struggle to
build community is a gift of God and in accepting it we acknowledge it as a
gift, not received once and for all, but one for which we must yearn and pray
and labour day after day.”
Jean Vanier
The Broken Body
SHARING WITH THE
COMMUNITY
Our students practice an active, faith life through service to the community.
The education component is learned through religion classes, regular school
practices and through special initiatives such as our association with
Development and Peace.
We support the community through activities such as;
- Thanksgiving food drive for the Good Shepherd Refuge,
- Christmas Baskets for families through St. Vincent de Paul Society,
- Fair Trade Coffee Sales,
- The Best Buddies Program
We donate volunteer time, food and money to organizations such as: Development and Peace, Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund (Canada), Share Life – Covenant House, Inner City Angels, Raising the Roof, Help a Family Fundraiser (a school and orphanage in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic), St. John the Compassionate Mission, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), The Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Day Sales, The Louise Russo Fund, Right to Life, and L’Arche Daybreak (Richmond Hill, ON).
We know that we have much to learn from the life of Jean Vanier and we strive to be true to his vision of living for others. In doing so, we continue to look for and to find ways to serve the greater Scarborough community and beyond.
We are also a proud member of the Best Buddies Program.
