“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
— Psalm 118:24
Dear York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB) Students, Staff and Families,
As we approach the Easter season, we are invited to pause and reflect on the profound joy that faith brings to our lives. Easter is at the heart of the Catholic faith. This is a time when we celebrate hope, renewal and God’s transformative love. Easter shows us that the Lord is always with us, so we always have a reason to be joyful.
I want to recognize how YCDSB schools bring joy to our wider community every year through their ShareLife fundraising. ShareLife Week occurred last week throughout the YCDSB, and this was our way of helping the tens of thousands of people who are fed, housed and supported by ShareLife-funded agencies. Last year, the YCDSB donated $128,000 to ShareLife, which is an incredible testament to your commitment to living your faith by helping others.
The YCDSB community is defined by its people who understand how Catholic education can change lives. What makes this community truly special is you: the care and commitment you bring to it every day. Thank you for making the YCDSB what it is.
On behalf of the YCDSB, I wish you and your loved ones a blessed Easter. May this holy season fill your hearts with hope and joy.
Yours in Catholic Education,
Jennifer Sarna
Interim Director of Education
