Today is the Feast of Christ the King, the final Sunday of the church year. The message of this Feast is simple. “Our King is Christ!”
O Jesus, our Eternal King, reign in our hearts.
O Jesus, Most Merciful King, reign in our hearts.
Halloween Fundraiser
Thank you to all families who supported our Halloween fundraiser through the purchase of glow accessories and snacks. We raised $1542.16! As previously communicated, the funds raised for this school-based fundraising initiative subsidized our XMovement interactive student workshop sessions. Thank you for your generosity!
Kindness Chalk Art Design Activity
St. Mark CES was thrilled to have each FDK to Grade 2 class pair with a Grade 3-6 buddy class to participate in our Kindness Chalk Art Design activity! With the rainy conditions, our activity was transferred inside. Chalk art designs were created on black construction paper and incorporated learning from the week. These are now posted in the gymnasium and around the school. Well done LIONS!

Closing Prayer
As we come to the end of this month focused on justice, let us pray…
Grant us, Lord God, a vision of your world as your love would have it:
a world where the weak are protected, and none go hungry or poor;
a world where the riches of creation are shared, and everyone can enjoy them;
a world where different races and cultures live in harmony and mutual respect;
a world where peace is built with justice, and justice is guided by love.
Give us the inspiration and courage to build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
St. Mark, pray for us.
Wishing you a fantastic week!
Sincerely,
C. Quadrini, Principal
