Welcome New TCDSB

SHSM Programs

Prayer

In a world which ignores the human thirst for God…we are called to share the living waters of faith.

In a time when there is little reverence for the image of God in the human person… we are summoned to care for human life with ultimate respect.

In a culture where communication is increasingly commercialized…we are invited to prayer and worship.

In a world marked by personality cults…we are called to bear witness to Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord and to reverence Him in the poor, the lowly and the marginalized.

In a time which often seems to be without goals or ennobling aspirations…we are called to declare goals and values to dedicate lives to their achievement.

~Amen
