Wawa's St. Joseph French Immersion Catholic School will have a new name in the next school year.
Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board trustees have voted to change the school's name to "St. Augustine French Immersion Catholic Elementary School" starting September 1st.
A committee of staff, students, parents, clergy, community members, and trustees charged with looking into the name change chose St. Augustine because of the saint's connection to St. Monica - the parish the school partners with - as Augustine was Monica's son, a theologian who had "profound impact on Christian thought" recognized as a Catholic Doctor of the Church.
The process to create a new logo is now underway.
