Let Us Pray
Loving God, As we enter the month of February, we thank You for the many blessings that surround our Mother Margaret Mary community. In these winter days, help us to notice Your presence in the kindness of others, the joy of learning, and the quiet moments where Your peace fills our hearts. As we prepare for the season of Lent, open our minds and spirits to the call of renewal. Teach us to reflect honestly, to seek forgiveness where needed, and to grow in compassion for those around us. May this upcoming season draw us closer to You and help us walk more faithfully in the footsteps of Christ. Bless our students, staff, and families with strength, patience, and hope. Guide our actions so that we may be instruments of Your love in our school each day. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Beauty of the Cross
To celebrate the year of Jubilee, this stained glass window was added to our chapel prior to the Christmas break. This helps bring greater focus and purpose to this sacred space in our school. We continue to accept donations to support this project. Donations equal to or greater than $100 will receive a commemorative gift of a small glass cross made of similar glass in the window. Donations can be made through the fee section of your powerschool portal. Donations will be accepted until Easter Monday, April 6, 2026. Commemorative crosses will be distributed in May, 2026.
Parking at MMM
Our parking lot has well defined signage on every stall. Numbered stalls are designated for staff and division parking, other stalls are designated as "Student/Guest". If student and guest stalls are occupied, students have access to street parking or at the recreation centre.

Student Responsibility
Please review our student responsibility page on our website. It is lengthy, but outlines the responsibilities of our students and how we wish them to conduct themselves with respect to school. Two points of focus are: - Student Attendance - Academic Integrity Students are required to attend school regularly and to be on time for classes. Students missing more than 10% of their classes are putting their education at risk. There are approximately 80 classes per semester for a five credit class. Please review your student's attendance from semester one to see if they are within an acceptable limit of absences. We are forced to have a very rigid policy with respect the location of mobile devices during student assessments. Students are very aware that they not to have any electronic devices on their person during an assessment. This includes placing a device in a pocket of their clothing. Students may place them in their backpacks, secure them in a locker, or place them as directed by a teacher or staff member. A mark of zero without an opportunity to re-write the assessment, will be assigned to students not in compliance of this policy, regardless of the circumstances as to why they have their device on their person.
Please be aware that "Smart Glasses" and/or glasses with cameras will not be permitted at MMM.
