Saint Columbkille Partnership School is pleased to honor Sister Catherine Delaney as part of this year’s 8th Annual BC Race to Educate. We ask that all general donations for the event be given in her name to celebrate her tenure at the school and her dedication to our students and the church. Her passion for teaching and commitment to Saint Columbkille are unparalleled. We are grateful for her years of service and her enthusiastic attitude.
"Sister Catherine has been caring for the children at Saint Columbkille for more than twenty years,” says Head of School Dr. William Gartside. “She always challenges them to be their best selves."
