At St. Eugene Catholic School and throughout the broader community, we are committed to supporting the whole student — academically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
This page highlights a variety of community resources available to students, families, and educators, rooted in the Catholic belief in dignity, service, and solidarity. These supports ensure that every learner has the opportunity to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

3. All Saints Catholic Parish All Saints Parish provides faith formation opportunities that nurture students’ spiritual development, strengthen their connection to the Catholic community, and promote active discipleship. The parish offers sacramental preparation programs, youth ministry initiatives, community outreach events, and opportunities for liturgical involvement such as altar serving, choir participation, and parish volunteering. Engagement with All Saints Parish supports the Catholic Graduate Expectations by fostering students’ faith commitment, leadership in service, and understanding of their roles as stewards of God’s love in the world.
Through strong partnerships with school clubs, community centres, libraries, and parish life, we nurture students to become engaged citizens, critical thinkers, and faith-filled leaders. These opportunities reflect the core of Catholic education: to develop the whole child — mind, body, and spirit — and to foster lifelong habits of service, stewardship, and community engagement. By building these connections, we empower students to recognize their God-given gifts and use them to inspire positive change in their communities and beyond.
