Executive Director's Update to Principals #39: COVID Update - 27 Jul 2021

  • COVID Update
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Love never fails
Even in the darkest moments, love gives hope. 

Love compels us to fight against coronavirus alongside our sisters and brothers living in poverty.
Love compels us to stand together in prayer with our neighbours near and far.
Love compels us to give and act as one. 
May your love that never ends
be our comfort, strength and guide
for the wellbeing of all and
the glory of God.
