Sunday School provides Catholic Catechesis for children, regardless which school they attend. For some, catechesis is new to them, for others, it helps deepen their faith. Sunday School complements the Pastoral Associate’s Sacramental Classes and the Catholic School curriculum.

All children who have MISSED a Holy Sacrament of Initiation at the usual time outlined by the Archdiocese of Toronto, and who want to prepare for that Sacrament, must join the Sunday School program.

Classes are in the church basement from Sept 24th 2023 to end of May 2024. Rooms TBD.

You can Register one child per form.

If your child is preparing for a Holy Sacrament, ALSO register at the respective sacraments

There is NO REGISTRATION FEE, however there are necessary purchases:
