RAVEN TIMES

Prayer for All-Saints Day: Heavenly Father, on this All-Saints Day, we praise You for the holy men and women who have gone before us in faith. We thank You for their lives of love, courage, humility, and unwavering devotion to Christ. May their example inspire us to follow Your Son with faithful hearts and willing spirits. Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints, strengthen us in our journey toward holiness. Help us to love our neighbours, forgive those who hurt us, and serve others with compassion. When we face trials and temptations, grant us the grace to persevere in faith and hope. May we remain united with the saints in the communion of Your Church, both on earth and in heaven. Guide us each day toward the eternal joy of Your heavenly Kingdom. We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.

Our first Raven Rumble was a great success! Thanks to the generosity of our students, families, and staff, together, we collected approximately 500 food items in support of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul at Good Shepherd Parish. Congratulations to Mrs. Corbett’s English 20 class, our first-ever Raven Rumble Champions! Thank you to our entire Romero community for coming together to support those in need. Your kindness and generosity continue to make a difference in our community!

Congratulations to all our Academic Award Recipients from the 2025-2026 school year. We celebrated them at our Awards evening on October 29. We are always proud to honour our amazing Ravens!

We have a Casino Date! February 28th and March 1st, 2027 at the Starlight Casino in West

Edmonton Mall. We are looking for volunteers - No experience necessary. The Casino

generates funds to support the school. We have just approved funds for chromebooks &

carts, ipads for the art classroom and additional sewing machines for the fashion classroom.

Volunteers will be provided with a meal during their shift. (You must arrive slightly before 11

pm if you would like a meal with the late evening shift).

We are using the SignUp platform to register volunteers, here is the link:

Please note: After you sign up in the link above, you will be emailed a casino volunteer

worker application. Please print it off and fill it out and return it to St. Oscar Romero Catholic

High School Office. If you don’t have access to a printer, the school will have hard copies on

hand. Please take one home per volunteer and fill them out and return to the school office.

Volunteers must fill out a casino volunteer worker form for AGLC prior to the volunteer shift.

Volunteers working more than one shift must hold the same position. Volunteers are not

allowed to gamble in any way at the casino or consume alcohol or drugs during their two-day

event. Photo ID is required for the computer system.

I am confident you will find a shift to help with the various times and positions that are

available. On behalf of the St. Oscar Romero Fundraising Society and I, thank you for

supporting St. Oscar Romero Catholic High School and the students.
