The students and staff at Pius XII school
celebrate their Catholic faith daily. Our faith nurtures
us to follow in the footsteps of Christ our Saviour.
Our daily prayers feed us spiritually, teaching us the
importance of who we are as Catholic students and educators
of Pius XII school.
Visiting God’s home at Holy Redeemer parish makes
us a part of the church community as we celebrate with
staff, students, parents and parishioners. Every month,
the teachers take time in preparing their students to
take part in reading the important message of the Bible.
Monthly we celebrate the virtues that link with our
Catholic Graduate Expectations that help us build character
and to become people who serve and live life with Jesus.
The virtues we celebrate are: respect, responsibility,
peace, faith, happiness, love, courage, citizenship,
honesty and commitment.
Pius XII offers the Rainbows program. This year we
have two support groups. Rainbows is for children who
are living in single parent families, step-families
or families that may be going through painful transitions.
Rainbows is a support group to assist your child in
expressing and understanding his/her feelings, to feel
acceptance for what has happened, and to feel a sense
of belonging and love.
Food Drives
Annual food drives are held at the school to help fill
the shelves at the local food bank. The drives are held
to enhance our Catholic and Christian spirit in helping
members of our community who are in need.
The students of Pius XII school supported the Holy
Childhood Association, an International Mission club.
This world wide club introduces children to the life
experiences and culture of children and youth in other
countries. The motto is “Children Helping Children”.
The Canadian Bishops endorse the program. The goal of
Holy Childhood Association is to awaken and instill
a missionary consciousness in children. The Holy Childhood
Association have financially assisted millions of children
in areas of nutrition, protection of life, health, spirituality
and education. Pius XII is proud to be able to help
in this mission.
