Thank you!

We are re-launching Mystagogia this upcoming January!

Have you been confirmed or baptized in the past five years? Do you know someone who has? You have been baptized and confirmed…perhaps your heart is on fire with the faith….but what next? 

Mystagogia is another stepping stone of our RCIA program designed to help accompany people further into the mystery of being Catholic! We can always go further.

We tackle questions like, “Why do we do what we do? What is the deal with Mary? The communion of saints…what does that even mean? Why is the order of the mass the way it is? I kinda get the importance of the Eucharist but how does that apply to me and my personal relationship with Jesus? What is the Gospel… why do I have to go to confession and say my sins out loud. Is the Catholic church really the one true Church?” 

Catholics have many beautiful rituals/sacraments and initiations but so often, the meaning behind it is lost. In this new apostolic era, it is not a time for mindless behavior but rather intentional understanding and transformational awareness.  

When we love someone, we learn about them…what their favorite coffee order is, where they like to shop, even golf…we can do the same with Jesus. 

Mystagogia: Through the Eyes of the Heart, will include food, fellowship, speakers from the Archdiocese of Vancouver & Catholic Pacific College as well as time for discussion and questions. We pray that The Holy Spirit will enlighten our minds and fill our hearts with passion. 

Come and join us. 

Email Hannah or call the office if your heart desires further information. 

“Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived”. 

1 Corinthians 13:1, “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
