A long standing , beautiful @stlukesoutreach.ctr Brooks tradition is to attend Mass at the seniors home, New Brook Lodge. We attend this mass on the third Thursday of each month. It is an invitation that we cherish. Yesterday, Father Elli gave a beautiful homily of how faith gives us purpose and hope. Such a needed message for youth and seniors. Thank you to New Brook Lodge for having us, and to Father Elli for the gift of faith and leadership. #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #mass #newbrooklodge #faith #hope #love

Our Brooks students were given an opportunity to attend the Open House at Medicine Hat College Campus. They enjoyed an extensive tour of several trades and bachelor programs. It was both informative and inspiring. There are so many great options so close to home. Our students also got to apply for a program for free, which many took advantage of. Thank you so much to @mhcollege for an amazing day! #medicinehatcollege #leavenotoneheartbehind #lifeatstlukes #postsecondaryplanning

Remembrance Day is tomorrow. We were thankful to join our sister schools , @stjosephscollegiate and @christtheking.ctr , in the annual Remembrance Day Service today. I t was solemn and reflective, yet hopeful at the same time . With hundreds of youth in one gym , it was amazing how still and reverent everyone was during the moment of silence. It was a display of much deserved respect to our veterans and military. It was an honour to be included and always, an honour to be Canadian. #letsweforget #weremember #leavenotoneheartbehind #lifeatstlukes
