York Catholic District School Board

The Eradication of Poverty Fundraiser is happening today across the York Catholic District School Board, including right here at the Catholic Education Centre! Staff and students are taking part throughout the day, giving back and showing compassion for those in need within our very own community. Your generosity and spirit of service truly reflect what it means to live like Christ. Together, we are making a difference, one act of love at a time. #EradicationOfPoverty #FaithInAction #CatholicEducation #YCDSB #Community #LivingLikeChrist

Today, on the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, the YCDSB reaffirms its commitment to compassion, dignity and hope. Through our annual board-wide fundraiser, 100% of the funds raised go directly to support YCDSB students and families, helping to remove barriers to learning, attendance and well-being. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those within our own Catholic community. Let us continue to answer God’s call to serve others with love and generosity. #YCDSB #FaithInAction #CatholicEducation #DignityForAll #InternationalDayForTheEradicationOfPoverty

Mental Illness Awareness Week reminds us that many in our community quietly carry struggles of the mind and heart. As a Catholic family, we affirm that every person is created in the image and likeness of God, worthy of love, dignity and understanding. Let us be a community where it is safe to speak, safe to seek help and safe to be honest about our struggles. No one walks alone.
