    Archbishop Leo Celebrates Advent Mass with St. Michael’s Community

    On December 7, 2023, the St. Michael’s College School (SMCS) community was graced with the presence of Archbishop of Toronto, Francis Leo, to celebrate our annual Advent Mass. His Grace prepared students and staff for this Holy season of Advent and delivered a beautiful homily for our community.

    Similar to a house built on a strong foundation, students were called to do the same with their faith. In preparation for mid-year assessments, Archbishop Leo provided his blessing on the SMCS school community. He helped the staff and students in attendance connect deeper with God, self-reflect on the future, and learn more about the importance of prayer.

    On behalf of the SMCS community, we extend our gratitude to Archbishop Leo and Fr. Arthur Lee for celebrating this important day with us. We also thank Fr. Andrew Leung, CSB and Fr. William May, CSB for concelebrating, along with our talented music ministry, student servers and readers, and the office and facilities staff.

    Please take a moment to enjoy a collection of photos:
