Greetings SJPII Families,

What an incredible job our Student Leadership team did organizing our STJPII Thanksgiving Challenge! Thanks to the generosity of our students, families, and staff, our school collected an amazing 675 lbs of food to support those in need in our community. We are so proud of our Leadership students for taking initiative, encouraging participation, and putting their faith into action through service to others. Thank you to everyone who contributed and helped make this challenge such a success! Your generosity is a beautiful example of living out our Catholic values.

This Sunday, we begin Catholic Education Week, a time to celebrate our faith and the important role Catholic education plays in our lives and community. Our focus is “The Power of the Holy Spirit,” reminding us of the hope, joy, and peace that the Holy Spirit brings into our lives.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” — Romans 15:13

We warmly invite our STJPII families to join us this Sunday at 11:00 a.m. for Mass at Our Lady of the Angels Catholic Church as we come together to celebrate our faith and the gift of Catholic education.

May the Holy Spirit continue to guide us, strengthen our community, and inspire us to be people of hope who make a difference in the lives of others.

Have a wonderful weekend, and God bless!

Mrs. Morgan & Mrs. Johnson

Thank you to everyone who brought in donations for the Fort Saskatchewan Nourishment Centre.

Our Challenge classroom winners were: Grade 5Zazula, 6Dul, 7Fennessey, and 8Zak. Each of these classrooms will enjoy a class reward and Miss Zazula's class had the most donations in the school and earned a Pizza Party!

STJPII is due for an update to our Gymnasium Audio Visual System. In partnership with Parent Council our school will be fundraising this year to make this new system possible.

Below is an image of what the new system will look like.
