Xavier on the march

The staff and students at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Secondary School in Mississauga are braving the rain as I write, participating in their annual ShareLife walkathon. This is another of those great school communities that supports ShareLife in a number of ways through the year. Xavier students also participate in an annual day of service in the spring, helping out at different ShareLife agencies.
The support we receive from our schools is really important to us. Catholic schools are the training ground for our young poeple and it's important that the values we share as a Catholic community are passed on to them as they grow. With the home-parish-school partnership at work, the Cahtolic leaders of tomorrow will ably carry the torch forward.
Thanks to everyone who is walking today at Xavier! And thanks to all the staff and students who support the good work of ShareLife agencies throughout the year.
