PAGE A8 ♦ THE CANADIAN STATESMAN ♦ DECEMBER 7,2005 Holy Family chosen as new name for school durhamregion.com BY PEGGY FOSTER Staff Writer BOWMANVILLE -- Holy Family Catholic Elementary School will be the ; name of a new school at 125 Aspen ; Springs Drive, scheduled to open in ; September 2006. i Trustees for the Peterborough Vic- ! toria Northumberland and Clarington 1 Catholic District School Board (PVNC) Î unanimously approved the name recent- ; ly at their monthly board meeting. The ; decision came following a commu- J nity process involving ; a search for a name, » which ended Nov. 4. ! In all, 68 individu- ! als and families sub- ! mitted suggestions for ! the name of the new | elementary school. ; The variety of names i suggested included -- ! King Roman, Our Lady of Peace, Pope ! Benedict, Pope John Paul II, Precious \ Souls, Princess Diana, St. Gregory and ; St. Patrick. Certain criteria had to be ; met by the proposed names, with the ; words "Catholic" and "Elementary » School" as part of the name; the school v had to be named in honour of the Divin- i ity, or in honour of a person or group ! that has been officially recognized by \ the church; the name should not lead .} to abbreviation or nicknaming; a pos- ! sessive form could not be used; and ; duplication of names within the board's • jurisdiction or neighbouring school boards had to be avoided. ; When the New School Naming Committee Committee met Nov. 10, through discussion and a voting process the suggested names were reduced to three. Holy Family is an ideal name for the school,' - George Ashe Further discussion and a vote resulted resulted in the name Holy Family Catholic Elementary School receiving 43.75 per cent of the votes followed by Ste. Marguerite Marguerite Bourgeois Catholic Elementary School with 32.5 per cent of the vote and St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Elementary Elementary School receiving 23.75 per cent of the vote. "Holy Family is an ideal name for the school," said Clarington trustee George Ashe. "Ste. Marguerite Bourgeois is a name for a French school and we don't have any all-French schools to my knowledge. And I don't know why anyone would want to name a school St. Vincent Vincent de Paul." Trustee Granville Anderson noted an objection had come from St. Elizabeth Catholic Elementary School about the process used to select a name, adding adding Clarington residents supported the name Ste. Marguerite Bourgeois.. The chosen name was submitted by Rev. Garry Leahy, parish priest of St. Joseph's Parish in Bowmanville. Peter Crane, a consultant on religious education and family life, provided the school naming committee with a written written brief about each submission. The significance of the name Holy Family comes in part from "the words of His Holiness Pope Leo XIII, 'Nothing 'Nothing truly can be more salutary of efficacious efficacious for Christian families to meditate upon than the example of this Holy Family, which embraces the perfection and completeness of all domestic virtues.'" virtues.'"
