Our School History and Tradition

  • We were established in 1980 when the Metropolitan Separate School Board (MSSB), now the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB), leased the former Roding Public School to serve the growing local Catholic community.

  • We were originally projected to welcome 300 students, but enrolment quickly exceeded expectations, reaching 390 students within our first month.

  • We are located in a residential neighbourhood next to Roding Community Centre and Roding Park Arena.

  • Our school was officially opened and blessed on April 21, 1981.

Our Patron Saint

  • We are named in honour of St. Conrad of Parzham, a German Capuchin friar known for his:

    • Humility

    • Compassion

    • Faith

    • Lifelong service to those in need

  • For more than 40 years, St. Conrad served as porter of the Capuchin convent at Altötting, where he became known for his kindness and dedication to the poor.

  • He was canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1930.

  • We continue to draw inspiration from St. Conrad’s example of faith, charity, and service.

  • His legacy is reflected in our original school motto, “We Are a Family,” which continues to guide our commitment to building a:

    • Caring community

    • Inclusive community

    • Welcoming community

    • Community rooted in faith and service.
