Remembering as a campus: Holy Cross and St. Benedict honour Remembrance Day

Remembering as a campus – K to 12 students at Holy Cross and St. Benedict join together to honour those who served in war.It was a collaboration with one goal – to help students remember authentically.

Kindergarten to grade 6 students at Holy Cross provided the choir, the art work and the laying of one wreath.St. Benedict 7-12 students provided two more wreaths along with the poignant readings.

Cadets who attend the high school also assisted with the playing of the bagpipes and the formality of the service, along with two representatives from the Canadian army. The service was orchestrated by Chaplaincy Lead Rob Pappin.
