Today, we joyfully celebrate the Feast Day of Our Lady of the Annunciation Catholic Elementary School in Richmond Hill!
Just as Mary responded with courage and faith to God's call at the Annunciation, we pray that the students, staff and families of this blessed school community may continue to say “yes” to God’s will with trust and love.
May Our Lady of the Annunciation guide and protect this school as it nurtures hearts and minds in faith, hope and charity.
Our Lady of the Annunciation, pray for us!

We are incredibly blessed to have celebrated our Board-wide Lenten Mass, presided over by His Excellency, Bishop John Boissonneau.
Our heartfelt gratitude to the students who participated through Mass intentions, music and choir; to the staff who supported and prepared our students; and to everyone who attended or watched from schools across YCDSB.
Thank you for continuing this beautiful tradition and sharing our faith as one community.

On this Third Sunday of Lent, let us pause to reflect and renew our hearts through prayer, fasting and acts of charity. As we journey together toward Easter, may our faith guide us closer to Christ’s love and mercy.
“For everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again; but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst.” – John 4:13-14
Blessings to all this Lent.
