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.
Empowering our Parish Vision
Your Project Advance tax-deductible donation funds works such as Youth and young adults ministry, new Catholic schools, programs supporting families, feeding homeless and vulnerable, pastoral ministry and support for the hospitalized.
Once the parish goal is met, all additional funds are directed back to parish projects identified by our Pastor and Parish Leadership Team. Thank you so much for your generosity.
We made it!
Our target for 2025 is $49,100. We have currently raised to date $55,000.
Please continue to give. Every additional dollar stays with the parish and directly benefits our community. Thank you to all who have contributed! โฅโฅโฅ

Mass Intentions
The Catholic Church dedicates the entire month of November to the Holy Souls in Purgatory. During this month we pray for the souls of the faithful departed, especially those whom we have known and loved. The season of Holy Souls reveals our reflection of our own mortality, celebrating and mourning those who have gone before us, and gently gathering the past into Godโs loving embrace.

Archbishop Smith’s New Year’s Message 2026
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
As we come to the close of the Jubilee Year of Hope, the Lord now calls us to carry the graces granted to us into the year ahead. Hope, once received, must be lived. Let us, then, become diligent stewards of this hope in our daily lives, drawing from the paschal mystery celebrated in the Eucharist to sustain our efforts in evangelization and service. With this in mind, I look forward to 2026 as a year in which we put the blessing of this Jubilee into action: strengthening initiatives that inspire renewal in our parishes, deepening our life of prayer and discipleship, fostering healing, and accompanying those who seek a way back to Jesus and his Church.
My prayer is that we step into this new year with confidence in Christ, a renewed openness to the Holy Spirit, and a willingness to witness to the hope we ourselves have received. In this way, the fire of hope kindled during the Jubilee will not only warm our own hearts but spread outward, transforming lives and renewing the face of the earth through our shared mission.
May Our Lady of Hope intercede for us and continue to guide our parishes, schools and ministries in this new year.
Yours sincerely in Christ,
โ Richard W. Smith
Archbishop of Vancouver
