St. Margeurite d'Youville walkathon

On Friday, I had the chance to speak to the students of St. Margeurite d'Youville Catholic Secondary School in Brampton during two masses celebrated as part of their annual walkathon, held on the feast day of their school's namesake saint.
The staff and students of St. Margeurite d'Youville combine this short pilgrimage, walking from school to their parish, with a fundraiser for ShareLife agencies. They combine a time of spiritual reflection with a time for charitable action! Last year, they raised $20,000 and it looks as though they will top that result this year - an amazing accomplishment for a single student body.
Congratulations to the staff and students of St. Margeurite d'Youville! And thanks on behalf us all in the ShareLife family.
