Aspire to God with short but frequent outpourings of the heart; admire His bounty; invoke His aid; cast yourself in spirit at the foot of His cross; adore His goodness; treat with Him of your salvation; give Him your whole soul a thousand times a day. St. Francis de Sales
One of our own embraces the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary

A Communion service is conducted every Sunday at the Burquitlam Care Home adjacent to Christmas manor senior apartments. The service is led by Deacon Guy Delionnet. His wife Helène, June Harris and Dominic Manisao with her guitar, lead the singing. Approximately 30 seniors from the Care Home and Christmas Manor attend these services a number of volunteers also attend and assist in the preparation and seating of handicapped senior’s. The seniors have formed quite a community and some strong friendships have been made. Through these gatherings, a parish within a parish has been born.

Our parish plays a very active role in our community through several organizations focusing on the needs of not only our own parishioners, but of all those who may from time to time need our support.
Although these organizations often work together to reach a common goal, each has its own unique characteristics that provide diversity and fellowship dedicated to community services.
We invite you to visit these pages and find out for yourself if these venues could help you reach your personal growth objectives or if your would just like to lend a hand.
