Dear Parents, 
As you are aware, due to the spread of the COVID-19 virus, Our Mother of Good Counsel Parish has decided to take the step of closing school until the school board and administration deem it safe to return.  During this time of uncertainty, the Religious Education/CCD Team would like you to know that we will be continuing to offer Religious educational classes by Distance learning for students at home via Zoom.
