ShareLife Week

Catholic Education Week

National Family and Life Week

Laudato Si' Week

As we focus on our new pastoral plan "Walking with Christ", we encourage all students, staff and their families to consider supporting the many local Catholic charities that are funded through ShareLife.

These Catholic agencies help families, single parents, the elderly, individuals with special needs, immigrants and refugees, the homeless and the needy, as well as the education of clergy within our own City of Toronto. 

They truly affirm that all of us, regardless of our circumstances, journey and support each other, walking with Christ with eyes of hope and faith.

We thank employees in the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) community for all that they do throughout the year to help others - giving of their time and their resources to make a difference.

You can learn more about the ShareLife School Employee Campaign by visiting the ShareLife website.

Many thanks to all those who have taken part in the TCDSB’s ShareLife Employee Campaign to date. 

If you haven’t had an opportunity to do so, we invite you to consider participating in this year’s TCDSB's ShareLife Employee Campaign (login required). 

Each contribution shows our willingness to help a neighbour in need through a practical act of love, an example of walking with Christ together.

ShareLife Week falls within the Lenten season and runs from March 18 to 22 and is an opportunity for us “to live the Gospel by providing for those in need”. 

TCDSB ShareLife Wear Green Day takes place on March 22, 2024 (Friday). We encourage all students and staff to participate by donating a toonie (or whatever can be afforded) in support of the campaign! 

If March 22 does not work for your school community, your ShareLife Civvies Day can be held any day during ShareLife Week. ​

Please consider wearing green to support ShareLife and post your photos on social media using the hashtag #ShareLifeTCDSB.​

Let us enable these Catholic agencies​ to continue their good work through fundraising. Now, more than ever, the needs are so great.

Please see the following resources to help in your efforts:

• ShareLife School Fundraising Toolkit 2024

Each Advent, ShareLife invites you to support those in need who are served by ShareLife agencies. School communities are encouraged to consider an Advent Toonie Drive for ShareLife. 

Please find, in the ShareLife Campaign Tools section further up, several resources to support your efforts: 

• TCDSB Advent Toonie Drive Poster that you may consider using.

• Draft Letter to Parents (modified).

• The Tracking and Recognition Form used for the Civvies Day can also be used for this drive.

We thank our school communities for the many ShareLife initiatives already underway!
