We also have a preschool session for 4yr olds.Applications for CGS are now open for the 2024/25 school year.Applications submitted after June 15th will incur a late fee.
You were called by God for a purpose, and were given gifts and charisms by the Holy Spirit at the time of your Baptism and Confirmation. Discover your special gift through the Called & Gifted program now being offered through St. Patrick’s
During Lent we are called to Fast, Pray and Give Alms; many in our community need help. At St. Patrick’s we strive to support our community both in spirit and in body.

* Bereavement Support for Those Whose Loved Ones Have Chosen MAiD
Has someone you loved chosen MAiD? We are offering a 4-week support group for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one through Medical Assistance in Dying (also known as MAiD or euthanasia). This small group (8 people) will offer an opportunity to work through some of the complications of this grief with others who have experienced similar situations with family and friends.
This is not about the politics or morality of euthanasia. This is a peer-led group to support each other through our Catholic faith and the mercy of God. We will use scripture, discussions, and reflections to work through the many aspects of bereavement.
On Thursday, June 13, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at John Paul II Pastoral Centre in Vancouver. Registration deadline: Thursday, June 6. Learn more and register at beholdvancouver.org/events.
* Estate & Memorial Planning Seminar
This free presentation provides general information about the importance of a Will, choosing the right Executor, the Probate, the Power of Attorney, and the tax benefits of charitable giving, plus a few words on healthcare planning.
You will learn about the beauty of the funeral rite and formulating pre-need and funeral arrangements, and receive a complimentary Estate and Memorial Planning Guide, online tools, and practical resources.
On Saturday, June 8, 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Corpus Christi Parish in Vancouver. Learn more and register at planning.rcav.org/corpus-christi.
