Fwd: Goodfellows

By Anonymous -



A great tradition at Brennan is the canvassing that the Religion students do in November for Goodfellows.  The students did an excellent job in canvassing for Goodfellows this year.  They walked tirelessly to help to raise funds for local needy families.   They collected over $700 and 12 boxes of cans.  Mr. Barichello from the organization came to help coordinate the event.  Thank you to him for all the work he does in making this day a success.  Corpus Christi's Caritas club also came out to help in the efforts. A heartfelt thank you to all the teachers in the Religion department that make this day a success.  
Here are a couple of pictures of the day.

As a class, we are conducting prayers together (a different student is responsible for a prayer each day) along with daily intentions.  The poster (containing post it notes of each student's Lenten promise) is a daily reminder to keep our commitments to God and to ourselves.  ​​

Changes

By Anonymous -
There have been changes again in the department.  We say a fond farewell to Mr. Grossi.  Good luck in his future endeavours.  In his place we have Ms. Diponti.  She has fit right in with the students and has helped them make a very smooth transition.   Ms. Gaffan's class has been working on creating their own personal credo's.  They have done a great job.  Kudos to them for finding the words to state what they believe in.   ISU's have begun in some of out classes.  The students are exploring bible themes such as forgiveness and faith.  They then adapt them to their life experiences.  The grade 12 classes have been looking at broader social justice issues such as sex selective abortion and suicide.  They have done a very  professional job so far dealing with these sensitive topics.  Thanks to all of them for sharing their personal stories. Earth day is tomorrow, April 22nd.  How can we start making small changes to make a big difference in the life of the planet?
