It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Fr. Rupert MacLellan, who died this morning in the Providence Care Centre at the age of 90. Please pray for the repose of his soul, and let us also remember his family and the flock he served.

More than anything else, the life of a Christian is a grateful response to a generous Father.

School offices will reopen on August 21 for all traditional track schools, including St. Damien. Enjoy the second half of your summer!
