History &
Tradition The name Blessed Sacrament refers to the presence of Christ under the appearance of bread and wine. The Blessed Sacrament is reserved in the tabernacle of the church and is central to the faith of Catholics.
Blessed Sacrament Catholic School has been educating children in the north Toronto area for more than 65 years. In a strong academic environment, children learn the knowledge and skills needed for their future, grow to be caring and contributing members of their community, and learn to love all that is true, noble, and good.
The school was established in 1927, housed in a large house near the present buildings. The Sisters of Loretto directed the school through its early years, providing many of the teachers and the principal. Students moved into the new building in 1945. A large wing was added in 1965 which included a gymnasium and a library. The school has a high level of academic expectations, well-developed arts and music programs, and a tradition of strong sports teams. The addition of one floor will house classrooms and an expanded library. Blessed Sacrament moves into the future well prepared to continue the tradition of Catholic education.
The location of our school provides fast and easy access to the whole of Toronto. Our location on Bedford Park is monitored on a regular basis to ensure a safe environment. Our safe arrival program ensures that late or absent students are accounted for.
Blessed Sacrament offers a complete program for junior kindergarten to grade 8. In addition to the regular course of studies. Blessed Sacrament offers:

Blessed Sacrament Supports Haiti
We have finalized our totals for the Hearts for Haiti Day at
Blessed Sacrament. The students had their pictures taken
with an Olympic Torch donated by one of our parents who
participated in the relay in the Toronto area. Two Olympic
baskets containing red mittens, toques, mascots, official
programs, t-shirts and hoodies were set up for distribution
through a school raffle. Sno-cones were sold and a
dance-a-thon was held for all students from JK-8 on February
12th. Our school has 562 students and they truly opened
their hearts.
$10092.87 was raised. $7500 was donated to Solidarity-Haiti
which was received in sufficient time to have the federal
government match the donation. An additional cheque for
$2592.83 was sent this week. In total then, Blessed
Sacrament donated $17 592.83 which is fantastic for a one
day event!
Solidarity Haiti is an organization that builds schools in
Haiti and they have worked in conjunction with several of
our TCDSB schools (Our Lady of Lourdes, Holy Name, and All
Saints among others). In 2003-4 the Blessed Sacrament
community donated monies to build a 4 classroom school and a
water reservoir and the following year an additional 3
classrooms and a office/workroom for the principal and
teachers. It was built in Labegue in the Central Plateau
region which was not hit severely in the earthquake but is
receiving many of the refugee families.

In addition the school community has donated boxes and bags
of children's clothing, shoes, baby formula and soft toys
for delivery to Haiti.
