Lastly, we sincerely wish all of you a wonderful summer of rest and renewal. May God continue to bless you all.

OUR LADY OF SORROWS PARISH GALA
Friday, September 15, 2023, is the Feast of our Patroness, Our Lady of Sorrows. As our Parish is undertaking a Capital Campaign (introduced at the April 16th Mass), to update our facilities to present codes and seismic standards, we are asking our families to help in the fundraising goals.
The Parish is also selling tickets to the Our Lady of Sorrows Gala on Saturday, September 16th. If your family or a class of parents wish to purchase tickets to this great community event, tickets are $75. Organize a table of 10 by June 23rd and receive a free bottle of red or white wine. Tickets are available to purchase from the Parish office.
Thank you for supporting our OLS Capital Campaign. More information about our plans will be shared again soon.
AFTERSCHOOL PICK-UP
Due to the warmer weather, the children will now be spending more time outside. Therefore, the gate to the school parking lot will not be opened until 2:30 p.m. Please do not arrive earlier than 2:30 p.m. to pick-up your child(ren) and wait at the gate as this creates a backlog of traffic and a nuisance for the neighbourhood.
G7 FUNDRAISING – ONGOING BOTTLE DRIVE – RETURN-IT EXPRESS
The Grade 7 Fundraising Committee is collecting bottles again this year. It’s easy! Simply place your empties in clear bags and drop them off at any “Return-It Express” depot (link to locations here). The school’s account is under our main phone number (604-253-2434).
School will resume on Tuesday, September 5th at 8:45 a.m. with an early dismissal at 12:00 p.m.
Reminder: The After School Club will not be available the first week of school. We will notify you during the first week of school as to when the first day will be.
