Many are in need.

Attention Grade Nine Students

Tomorrow is your Grade Nine Caritas Day.

Remember to dress in your groups' theme for the day.  Make sure your costume is comfortable and you have runners for the games on the field in the afternoon.  Shorts should be worn under costumes with dresses.  Do not wear new clothes or new shoes as you will be on the ground for some of the activities.

Lunch time is as usual.  Bring your own lunch.

There is no dress down cost tomorrow for grade nines.

BEST BUDDIES PROGRAM

Did you know that Brennan has a Best Buddies Chapter?

Best Buddies Canada is a national charitable organization dedicated to enhancing our communities through one-to-one friendships between people with developmental and intellectual  disabilities or those with Autism Spectrum Disorder and student volunteers.

Best Buddies is an international program founded in 1988 by Anthony Kennedy Shriver, nephew to former president John F. Kennedy.  Today the program operates in elementary, high school, colleges and universities.

Best Buddies is about making a difference in the lives of students!

Best Buddies Programs help increase a sense of self-worth which may lead to students securing successful jobs, learning how to ride public transportation, etc. 

Our program is about equity and inclusion.

At Brennan, students meet mostly on Thursday's for lunch. Following lunch students engage in conversations, play games, listen to music etc. 

From: MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD CHURCH (Youth Ministry)

There will be a leader gathering for high school students on Monday Sept. 18th at 6:30 p.m.

Mark your calendars!

Upcoming Vocations Event:

 

Jeremiah Day Soccer Challenge: Saturday, September 23 from 10am-3pm

Last month, Philip Mulryne, a professional soccer player for Manchester United was ordained a priest.  He dared to take some time to reflect on where God was calling him in life.  The story of the prophet Jeremiah tells us that it is never too early to think about God's plan for us.  The Jeremiah Day Soccer Challenge is a day for young men (grades 8 to 12) to grow closer to God and to visit St. Peter's Seminary.  The activities include a tour of the seminary, Mass of Ministries, lunch, soccer tips from Bishop Dabrowski and a soccer game with our seminarians in the afternoon. Please register by contacting Fr. Patrick Beneteau at vocations@dol.ca or 519-432-1824 ext. 204.

All Day Confession

A reminder that this coming Wednesday April 5th, churches will be prepared to hear all day confessions. Please contact your local church for more information.

Interested students are asked to sign up in Campus Ministry.  Students will walk over to Our Lady of Guadalupe Church to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Wednesday.

Our Lenten Journey

Our Lenten journey began with a Prayer Service on Ash Wednesday. Donations where collected that same week for the Development and Peace Organization which our Diocese sponsors and we have traditionally sponsored.
There has been an ongoing collection of non-perishable food items which will be donated to local food banks. 

Our daily prayer is an invitation to grow in our relationship with God.

Third period classes have been scheduled to come to the Chapel to pray the Stations of the Cross.

Students will have the opportunity to walk over to Our Lady of Guadalupe Church to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation on April 5th.

Once again we will have a p.a. prayer service on Holy Thursday and staff and students will participate in a morning of volunteer service at various locations in the Windsor area. This is an opportunity to go out and live the Gospel message of service.  This is not to be confused with the gov't graduate expectations of community service hours. This day of volunteering is our gift to others in response to the Gospel message.

Let us pray that our Lenten observances  of fasting, prayer and almsgiving (charity) be sustained through the 40 days of Lent so that that we may be  refreshed and renewed to celebrate the joy of Christ's Easter resurrection.  Amen.

World Water Day

22 March 2017

World Water Day is held annually on 22 March as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.

An international day to celebrate freshwater was recommended at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). The United Nations General Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day.

Each year, World Water Day highlights a specific aspect of fresh water. In 2017, the theme is "Wastewater."

Today there are over 663 million people living without  safe water close to them. They are forced to go a distance to get safe drinking water or forced to use contaminated water.

Please google World Water Day for more information on how you might respond to this crisis.
