- First Friday Masses: These are held on the first Friday of every month in honour of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
- Can-Aid: A canned-food drive held before Christmas every year since 1984. Donations go to the Good Shepherd Refuge. The record is almost 50,000 cans.
- Communion Breakfast: A mass and breakfast for students, staff, and their families begun in 1963.
- Theatre Brebeuf: Every year the students put on a play or musical, usually involving students from St. Joseph's Morrow Park and Loretto Abbey.
- Club Brebeuf: The music council holds an annual talent show in which schools from Brebeuf, St. Joseph's Morrow Park and Loretto Abbey show off their talent. The funds from this event goes towards a charity that supports cancer research, Meagan's Walk.
- Brother Maher Fund: Established in 2002, students raise money for Presentation Brothers' schools in Ghana.
- Town Hall: Student Council elections are preceded by speeches by candindates. Once rowdy affairs, especially in the 1970s and 1980s, they are now more dignified and focus primarily on the speeches.
- Christmas Assembly: Held on the last day of classes before Christmas break, students and teachers perform a variety of Christmas-themed entertainment. Teachers also put on humorous skits for students.

Famous quotes containing the word traditions:
“I think a Person who is thus terrifyed [sic] with the Imagination of Ghosts and Spectres much more reasonable, than one who contrary to the Reports of all Historians sacred and profane, ancient and modern, and to the Traditions of all Nations, thinks the Appearance of Spirits fabulous and groundless.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“... the more we recruit from immigrants who bring no personal traditions with them, the more America is going to ignore the things of the spirit. No one whose consuming desire is either for food or for motor-cars is going to care about culture, or even know what it is.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
