Thankfully, however, the Church has made it possible for parents to work alongside the greater Catholic community in helping shape the Church’s youngest members.

St. John Brebeuf Secondary (SJB) was founded in 1992 and currently has about 400 students enrolled from grades 8-12. SJB has 3 feeder elementary schools and 7 supporting parishes.
