Our parish relies on your generosity. Your donations each year directly impact our ability to minister to those in need, to provide special programs such as Alpha and CGS, to offer small group faith studies, to maintain our buildings, and to grow our parish school.

Alpha is returning this January!

Join us in Holy Grounds for dinner, great conversation, and lasting connection.  We invite you to bring a friend.

Guests to the series do not need to be Catholic or members of our parish.  This event is open to everyone.  Please register for this series of event so we can plan for the correct number of guests.  You only need to register one time.

What is Alpha?

We believe that everyone should have the chance to explore faith, ask questions, and share their point of view.

Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation.

Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone’s welcome. It runs online, in cafés, churches, universities, homes—you name it. No two Alphas look the same, but generally they have three key things in common: connection, content, and conversation.

Thank you

This week as we experienced a significant snow and weather event, we would like to highlight all of those who came out to keep the church open and Masses happening.

Thank you to Michael Albrecht for fixing our parish furnace during the most critical time so that we can all attend Mass in comfort.

Thank you to Boris who brought his excavator and kept our parking lot clear and safe.

Thank you to Margaret, Boris and Mateo Jakus, Francis Mai, Emma and Michael Steele and Hannah Powell for shoveling, salting, and clearing the snow from our pathways to make it possible for parishioners to safely make their way to church.

Thank you to our parishioners who braved the snow and difficult weather and still came to celebrate our Lord as a community.  We are so grateful to you. ♥

Every act of help and support keeps our parish running and is an integral part of achieving our parish mission. We are so very grateful to all.

If you would like to serve the parish by donating your time or skills, please let us know.

As we step into 2024, we may sometimes need a bit of help with our intentions, or with moving forward from something hard, or we may be navigating challenges and illness of loved ones. Please tell us how we can pray for you. The form can be anonymous if you wish.

Weekend Getaway Marriage Conference

We are excited to partner with Family Life Canada to offer weekend getaways to married couples in the Archdiocese of Vancouver!

Wherever you’re at in your relationship, this retreat will be a weekend to remember.

The atmosphere will be relaxed, warm and fun! You’ll hear from real couples doing real life together… God’s way. You’ll be given time to process what you’re learning. And together, build a joyful marriage that lasts a lifetime.

The next getaway is on the weekend of February 16-18, 2024 at the Fairmont Empress in Victoria, BC. The fee is usually $299. Use promo code RCAVVIC to register for $199.
