A Holy Cross Saint: Br Andre Bessette Csc

Nike Basketball Camp Holy Trinity High School

Born in Quebec on August 9, 1845, Alfred Bessette was orphaned by the time he was 12. He had little formal education, but from an early age he had a lively faith and a strong devotion to St. Joseph. His childhood pastor encouraged him to consider a vocation to religious life. He sent Alfred to the Congregation of Holy Cross with a note that said, I am sending you a saint.

Initially, Holy Cross did not accept Alfred because of his poor health. With the assistance of the Archbishop of Montreal, he was received into Holy Cross in1870 and took the name André, the name of his childhood pastor. Brother André was assigned as doorkeeper of Notre Dame College in Montreal, where he greeted visitors and tended to their needs.

Many people began to experience physical healings after praying with Brother André, and his reputation as a healer began to spread. Br. Andre remained humble, saying that the real source of these miraculous cures was St. Josephs intercession. He founded a shrine to his favorite saint across the street from Notre Dame College, which eventually grew into a huge basilica, the Oratory of St. Joseph, on the highest hill in Montreal.

Brother André died on January 6, 1937 at the age of 91. The basilica is a major pilgrimage site, attracting over two million visitors a year. On October 17, 2010, St. André Bessette became first saint of the Congregation of Holy Cross when he was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI.

Student Arrival And Dismissal Procedures

Arrival: The doors to the school will open at 7:50. If students arrive before this time they will have to wait outside the school until the doors are opened. Please do not drop your child off early. Upon school entry students must proceed directly to period 1 class. When entering the school building students will need to wear a mask and sanitize their hands.

Therefore, students will leave the school in the following order:

  • Alternate Transportation Students- Main Entrance. Parents must not park their car in front of the main entrance of the school for accessibility reasons.

  • Bussed students

  • Driving students,walking students, and students getting picked up will be dismissed in a staggered manner.

  • No Final Examinations Grade 9 Pilot Project / No Senior High Mid

    Our school has accepted an invitation by the Newfoundland and Labrador English School District to become part of a pilot project in 2020-22. As a participant in this pilot project, we will not be administering mid-year examinations to high school students for the next two years or final end of year examinations to students in Grade 9 for the next two years. The purpose of this pilot is to focus on maximizing instructional time and student learning during this time period, rather than focusing on major formal exams. Therefore, instruction will continue as normal during the usual mid-year examination period and students will be required to attend classes.

    Based on research conducted by the Districts Assessment, Evaluation and Reporting Committee, it is believed that students will experience no negative impact on year-end achievement results. To ensure a positive outcome from this initiative, student achievement data will be collected and analyzed over the two year period for our school and other participating schools.

    There is ample research which indicates that at the intermediate level, a focus on formative assessments, with timely and effective feedback to the learner and the teacher, has a more positive impact on student learning and achievement than the use of time and resources to prepare and complete final examinations.
