  • Pastoral Reference Form

    This form is intended for individuals requesting a Pastoral Reference from St. Benedict Parish in support of their application for school positions. The Diocese of Hamilton, in conjunction with the Catholic School Boards, has instituted a Pastoral Reference protocol which applies to all school boards within the diocese. The new pastoral reference can be used for any of the boards; individual references for differing boards is not required. Please note that Pastoral References will be considered for those who are registered and active within our parish.
