Fundraising Events
SATURDAY SUPPERS
Bringing the community together at long communal tables in the parish hall after mass, these delicious and affordable dinners are held 3 to 4 times per year. Everyone is welcome and dinners usually include entertainment for the kids, draw prizes and raffles.
WELCOME BACK BBQ
Sponsored by our PAC and PEC members so we can (re)connect with our families, leadership team, and staff. All school families are invited to our Welcome Back to School BBQ on the first school Friday, in September in the Parish Gardens. All SFA students receive a ticket for a meal and there is food for parents to purchase for themselves and siblings. Please bring your picnic blankets and any additional food items you would like.
WALKATHON
Annual fundraising drive where our students are actively involved in raising funds for the school. Students from Kindergarten to Grade 7 walk to raise money in support of our school.

SFA School partners with Purdy’s Chocolates. Families order chocolates crafted in Canada with premium-quality ingredients and 100% sustainable cocoa, and SFA School gets 25% back in fundraising profits from every sale.
FAMILY DANCE
A fun night for the entire family. This event includes great music, dance and costume contests for children and adults, food, treats to purchase, and cash bar. This sell out event is so popular we can no longer host it in our Parish Hall.
GALA
Year after year, our gala brings us closer as a community and closer to our goal of building a new learning environment for our children.
