This school year was very momentous for the Student Pastoral Team! The SPT played a significant role in creating a spiritual atmosphere for the students and with every meeting, more students joined, and every organized activity grew our mission as the heart of the school. All the heavy work done with our minds, bodies, and love was for the greater Glory of God and we are incredibly happy to have achieved enlightening success!

The team coordinated many prayer services and adorations in the school chapel. These services included the celebration of Advent, a tribute to Yash Varma, and the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on the first Friday of every month. We also designed, printed, and cut out hundreds of prayer cards to give out to students. 

Many SPT members volunteered in different retreats such as THINK-fast and the SPT Lenten retreat held at the school during the Lenten season. Our various retreats throughout the school year gave us to opportunity to take a break in the midst of a hectic world to think deeply about our relationship with and love for God. We also took part in the 100,000 Lives Flag Display Event held at the St. Boniface Cathedral in honour of the hundreds of unborn babies lost every year. We hosted the Nativity Scene Contest near Christmas, began Way of the Cross on Wednesday mornings during Lent, and arranged an upbeat Pentecost Praise and Worship mid-May. 

We would like to express our gratitude to all members of the SPT for the work put into the mission of faith. We also want to thank Mr. Martinez and Mrs. Jackson for their wonderful help in being the team leaders! And lastly, a big thank you to all St. Paul’s students for being a part of something great. If any students are interested in joining the team next school year, please contact Mr. Martinez. We wish all students a blessed summer break, and one where you continue to develop in your faith!
