What's Going on This Month?

Year of Prayer for Vocations to the Priesthood: Not an Ordinary Life

In response to the declining number of priests in the Diocese of London, Bishop Fabbro has announced a Year of Prayer for Vocations to the
Priesthood for our Diocese beginning on Pentecost Sunday, May 28, 2023. This Year of Prayer reminds us of Jesus’ urgent call, “ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into the harvest.” This call is addressed to individuals, families, parishes, Catholic schools, and other faith communities in our diocese. More information about local celebrations will be communicated through individual parishes.

School Is (Almost) out for the Summer!

Congratulations, graduates! Springbank Catholic wishes all graduating students - "kinders," grade eights and twelves - all the best as you enter the next chapter of your life. We look forward to prayerfully celebrating grade eight graduations with the elementary schools that we serve later this June!

Catholic Schools

There is something unique and special about education that views human life as an integration of body, mind, and spirit. Faith and spiritual growth are at the heart of Catholic education, which fosters the search for knowledge as a lifelong spiritual and academic quest. Through Catholic education, students learn about their Catholic faith and how to live it in all areas of life. Springbank Catholic serves the families of St. George, St. Jude, St. Nicholas, St. Rose of Lima, and St. Theresa Catholic Elementary Schools. For more information about our Catholic schools, please visit ldcsb.ca.
