Liturgy of the Word for Children
Liturgy of the Word for Children has started! It is a chance to let the small children hear and learn about the Word in children’s language. They learn prayers, songs, and responses at Mass.
Welcome all young families, and we hope that you will consider helping out. We provide training for volunteers.
ASPYM Alpha
Youth Ministry just had their first Alpha session last Sunday, and the Lord exceeded our expectations! On Friday, we had 23 people, but by Sunday afternoon, we had 36 people registered! After the initial wave of stress hit me, I was reminded of Luke 5:1-11
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.
Often I feel like I need to work all night, only to catch no fish. But Sunday was a great reminder that the Holy Spirit wants to break our nets. All we have to do is cast them.
Father Bryan's 10-year Anniversary
Fr. Bryan celebrated his 10th year as a Priest this past Sunday! Additionally, he also recently just finished his Ph.D. The Parish celebrated these milestones last Sunday with a cake after Mass. Please enjoy these photos from the event!
Safe Haven Sunday
On October 2-3, the Archdiocese of Vancouver will celebrate Safe Haven Sunday. This awareness day will provide access to practical resources that any caring adult can use to protect themselves and our young people from online risks.
