Greetings from Fort Nelson
I was saying last week how warm it has
been here in Fort Nelson and on Tuesday
of this week the temperatures dropped to
more seasonal temperatures of -17 highs
and -27 for the lows. The forecast is for
light snowfall and after that sunny for the
weekend and into next week.
On Tuesday I will be going up to
Whitehorse for a few days to visit. It is
about 960 km from here so a day`s drive.
Laird Hot Springs is on the way and I be
bringing my swimming trunks to dip into
the springs on the way there and back to
Fort Nelson.
Fr. Mike

Catholic Schools’ Week
Today marks the beginning of Catholic
Schools’ Week (CSW) in British Columbia.
The theme this year is Catholic Schools
Live the Joy of the Gospel. Each and every

about the importance and value of
Catholic education.
For those that are not aware, there are six
Catholic Schools in the Diocese (5
elementary and 1 high school) educating
1700 students. The schools are:
 John Paul II in Port Alberni,
 St. Joseph’s School in Chemainus,
 Queen of Angels School in Duncan
 St. Joseph’s Elementary, St.
Patrick’s Elementary and St.
Andrew’s Regional High School in
Victoria.
Thank you to all who have and are
supporting our Catholic schools. We ask
that whether you have a Catholic school
in your community or not, please pray for
our Catholic schools. Our schools are a
blessing to the diocese and the mission of
Catholic Education!
