SIMON & JUDE PRINCIPAL "I would like to thank Bishop Canevin High School for the opportunity to reconnect with former Saints Simon and Jude School students on the Junior Service Day. It is remarkable to see how they have matured over these past years. We had quite a variety of tasks for them to do from raking leaves, cleaning areas that only get done periodically, to cleaning the stainless steel in the cafeteria. I am gratful that they were here to help us. It is good for us to connect and get updated on students who went to SSJ. We are always grateful for the help given to us throughout the year at the Fish Fries, Parish Festival as well as with Forensics and Junior Achievement. It gives the students an opportunity to return to their beginning which lasts a lifetime. May the Lord continue to bless the Staff and Students of Bishop Canevin High School."
