Sept 28 - Oct 2, 2026

This week’s Gospel, Matthew 21:28–32, reminds us that our actions matter. It is not enough to say that we care. We are called to show it through the choices we make and the way we treat others.

We saw this spirit during Monday’s Terry Fox Run. Thank you to everyone who participated and to the families who supported our Toonies for Terry and Food Bank collection. Today, our Grade 8 students also shared a meaningful retreat experience that invited them to reflect on faith, community and the people they are becoming.

Next Tuesday, we will recognize Orange Shirt Day. As part of our learning, the whole school will participate in a rock activity focused on remembrance and our responsibility to help create a future rooted in truth, dignity and respect. Like the son in this week’s Gospel who ultimately chose to act, may we continue to show through our actions that every child matters.

The St. Theresa Parent Advisory Council performs many vital functions for our school community, by helping to facilitate school wide student functions and providing valuable funding to our school via fundraising. Parents involved in the PAC learn about planning and development within the school and are part of the planning process. These roles make their involvement very important to the families, administration and teachers.
