This week, as we lit the candle of love, students at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School were asked, “How do you practice love in difficult moments?”

A big thank you to @HamiltonPolice for another exciting Students vs Cops basketball game this week. You helped us raise money for our Christmas Adopt-A-Family campaign, bringing joy and smiles to the homes of so many families this Christmas. Blessed to have your support!

We couldn’t be more proud of our students and staff for scripting and producing ‘Each By Name’. This production beautifully reflects and strengthens our Catholic identity and celebrates the dignity of every person, a message that resonates deeply within our outreach efforts.

As we begin Advent and prepare for the coming of Christ, we open our hearts to the many ways God comes to us each day; in the smile of a colleague, the warm words of a friend, or even in the midst of struggle, God is with us, filling us with the hope: hwcdsb.ca/news/2025-2026…
