School History and Tradition
In 1978 an addition to Perth Avenue Public School was built for the students and staff of St. Luigi Catholic School. The new facilities were opened and blessed on June 3, 1979. St. Luigi, one of the pioneer sharing facilities schools between the TDSB and TCSDB, remains an ongoing partnership to serve Catholic families in the community.
St. Luigi is named after Luigi Maria Monti (1825-1900), the founder of the “Sons of the Immaculate Conception”, who dedicated his life to serving God, to teaching and to nursing the most vulnerable.
Blessed Luigi Maria Monti's life serves as a profound testimony to the power of selflessness, compassion, and unwavering faith in God. He lived a life of true devotion, always putting others before himself.
At St. Luigi, his legacy continues to inspire us to follow in his footsteps and devote ourselves to our faith and to the service of others.
