Main Activities
The Mother’s Guild supports the below initiatives and activities listed below. However, due to the pandemic, we will be modifying these in-school events and looking for new ways to continue our fundraising efforts to engage with the Loyola community. Updates to follow.
Loyola Store:
- Clothing sales are held before the start of school and on several other occasions during the school year
- The store is open Tuesday and Thursday lunchtimes
- For hassle-free shopping, visit our online store store.loyola.ca
Junior Information Night - The Mothers’ Guild hosts a welcome wine and cheese for Secondary 1 & 2 parents after they meet the teachers.
Memorial Mass - The Mothers’ Guild hosts a reception following Mass in the School Atrium.
Wine & Cheese Fundraiser - On the first Sunday of Advent, we transform the school gym into a winter wonderland. It is a fun afternoon for our Loyola community to participate in a silent auction, games, raffles, socialize and to get a head start on Christmas shopping. Bring your family and friends (and get to know other parents!) – adults only.
Meet & Greet - Come talk to us if you are interested in joining the Mothers' Guild. All current mothers welcome. We are always looking for volunteers!
Communion Breakfast – Hosted on the Sunday prior to Mother's Day, the morning begins with a Mass in the Eric Maclean, S.J. Centre. A continental breakfast is then served in the Atrium. A special guest speaker is invited to share their experiences and finally, the Mothers’ Guild presents their Annual report. Families welcome.
Loyola High School Mothers' Guild Executive 2021 - 2022
The Loyola High School Mothers' Guild Executive is comprised of 14 volunteers, each serving for a 2-year term. Each year approximately one-half of the Executive Members conclude their mandates and subsequently, their positions become available to other mothers who would like to serve on the Guild Executive.
