36 Grade 6 teams from across CTR have gathered for the annual CTR Volleyball Tournament after a two-year break due to The pandemic. Each team received a banner for students to sign and post in their gym. A huge thank you to the coaches and parents who came out to support the students! 🏐👏

Aid to the Church in Need (ACN Canada) will hold its 8th annual Red Wednesday on November 16. Across the world, 327 million Christians live in a country where there is persecution at various degrees. Because of their faith, they endure discrimination, scorn, arrest, incarceration, torture, and sometimes even death. It is estimated that 75 % of acts of violence for religious reasons are perpetrated against Christians, making them the most persecuted group. We invite all staff and students to unite themselves with the persecuted by praying a decade of the rosary on Wednesday, November 16. acn-canada.ord/red-wednesday Lord, we pray that every being, regardless of their religion, live in peace and harmony without any kind of persecution. 🙏 #RedWednesday
