Ways to Give

"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver"       2 Corinthians 9:7

St. John Brebeuf School owes its existence (1957) and its continual growth to the giving spirit of the very first group of parishioners who went door to door soliciting donations for the building of the parish and school. It is this community spirit that continues to propel St. John Brebeuf into the future.

Financial Support

St. John Brebeuf School relies on the generous support of the community to support the bursary fund as well as the capital projects fund. The bursary fund provides financial support for Catholic families for whom tuition costs represent a significant barrier to access. All donations over $20 receive a tax receipt for the full amount. To give to the bursary fund, click HERE or contact principal@sjbcommunity.ca

Independent schools do not receive capital funding from the government and thus depend on the generous support of the community to undertake building enhancements and advance new capital projects.
