Our School

Beginning
     In 1939, St. Luke’s Separate School, consisting of two classrooms was erected. By 1950, it became increasingly apparent that these classrooms were becoming grossly overcrowded. An addition of three more classrooms was built. The blessing of this addition took place at the same time as that of the new church.



1970's
     In 1957, the name was changed to “Our Lady of Sorrows”. In 1958 and 1961, the school expanded further to bring the total number classrooms to thirteen. In 1968, the school received its largest extension with three more classrooms, an auditorium, library, seminar room and principal’s office to comprise a total floor area of 24,409 square feet. Students from kindergarten to Grade 7 attend this school.

Now

     In 2005, the entire school was torn down except for the auditorium and replaced with a modern two storey building which opened in September. St. Francis of Assisi School does not come under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Pembroke or Our Lady of Sorrows Parish but will continue to be under the Military Ordinariate (Diocese) and the Military Chaplains, even though it is now located off the Military Base.
