Our cups are overflowing today… Spearheaded by the Faith Club, the school community at Monsignor Morrison Catholic School shared such beautiful kindness, creating and delivering comfort baskets for our residents and a generous donation for our Canoe Café. Moments like this remind us that compassion has no age, and that community truly shows up when it matters most. We are so deeply grateful for the love and care that surrounds us.
