Creator God, we praise you, the source of all life. Renew our faith and guide us in our ministry as Catholic teachers. Let us touch the hearts and minds of those with whom we work. Lord Jesus, share with us your counsel, so we may choose knowledge over ignorance, wisdom over waste, peace over injustice, community over isolation and service over domination. Holy Spirit, nurture our growth. Inspire us to give birth to the creative powers within us. Let us come to the fullness of life promised in the Gospel. Amen.

A Message From The Former Past President
Dear Friends,
I have some good news to share with all of you.
Since 1998, I have been employed with the TCDSB as an occasional teacher. This position allowed me the benefit and honour to serve all the occasional teachers employed by the TCDSB in a number of capacities – first as your President ,and then, as your Past President.
As of October 8, 2009, I have been hired permanently with the TCDSB on a full-day basis. Currently, I am teaching Kindergarten. When I accepted the position, I accepted with some sadness, as this finally, means that I am no longer an occasional teacher…which means, I can no longer serve as your Past President.
The years have flown by… and along the way, I have made many friends and acquired many new skills, which has made me a better teacher and human being.
It is at this time, I must say good-bye to all of you. I wish all the occasional teachers the best and your TOTL Executive the good fortune as they continue to serve all of you.
My thoughts will always be of the good times we have all shared together,
Yours in Education
Sonia Di Petta
