Dear Toronto Catholic Community,
As we embrace the Easter season with joy and gratitude, we extend our warmest wishes to all students, families, teachers, and staff of the Toronto Catholic District School Board.
This sacred period commences with Holy Thursday, where we recall the Last Supper and the foot-washing ceremony, symbolizing service and humility. Good Friday follows, a solemn time reflecting on Jesus Christ's crucifixion, embodying the profound acts of love and sacrifice. The joy of Easter Sunday celebrates the resurrection, marking the triumph of hope over despair, while Easter Monday offers a time for continued reflection and joy in the promise of new life.
Easter and its surrounding holy days remind us of the transformative power of faith and the promise of renewal. It is a season where we ponder the ultimate act of love and sacrifice, and the victory of hope over adversity. In this time of rebirth, we are reminded that no challenge is insurmountable and that through faith, we find strength and resilience.
We are continually inspired by the spirit of unity that defines our Toronto Catholic community. Together, we share a common mission to nurture the hearts and minds of our students, rooted in the values of love, compassion, and service.
In the face of adversity, our collective faith sustains us and guides us forward. Let us come together as one community, united in faith and purpose, supporting and uplifting each other along this journey.
As we celebrate this holy season, may we embrace the blessings of unity, the promise of renewal, and the enduring power of faith. May this season fill your hearts with joy, your spirits with hope, and your lives with the boundless love of the risen Christ.
Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed Easter filled with peace and joy.
Yours in faith and unity,
Dr. Brendan Browne
Director of Education

Chair of the Board
