Four Grade 10 youth from St. Patrick’s Parish have been chosen out of hundreds of students across Canada to join the Student Leadership Collective!

These young people have demonstrated a desire to discover their personal calling, see Jesus transform their high school and community, and grow in their leadership alongside other Christian students from across our nation. They will spend the next six months in ongoing learning in addition to attending a 2 day conference in Ottawa alongside other grade 10 students from across Canada.
Congratulations to Eva, Julia, Francis and Tyler!

Making Sense of Adolescence
Crossing the bridge from childhood to adulthood has never been so daunting. The time of adolescence is longer than ever, yet society today offers little support in understanding or facilitating this transition. This course is designed to be used by parents, grandparents, teachers, administrators, professionals— anyone who desires to make sense of adolescence. Parents of all ages will find this course invaluable as preparation for what lies ahead. As we enter into a new year, the Archdiocese of Vancouver is pleased to offer “Making Sense of Adolescence”, a Dr. Neufeld video course with discussion facilitated by Keven Bredeman, M.A.
This series will take place Tuesday evenings from 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm beginning January 21 on Zoom. Register online before January 28 at beholdvancouver.org/events
