Online Alpha Gathering
Our Online Alpha finally met for the first time in person after journeying and sharing in each other's lives for 10 weeks.
The groups had breakfast together in the Parish Hall and had a fun social gathering.
Here are a couple of shots of two of the groups.
Please keep the participants, the hosts and helpers in your prayers as they bring Alpha to a close at Loon Lake Retreat on April 9th.
If you would like to be part of our fall Alpha as a host, helper or participant, please contact Lorraine at the Parish Office or email her at adultfaith@allsaintsbc.ca for more information.
Altar Servers’ Lenten Retreat
On April 2, Saturday, 33 of our altar servers spent a whole afternoon learning, reflecting, and understanding the deeper meaning of the Holy Eucharist.
Using the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd approach, (CGS) the young altar servers journeyed through the Last Supper with the apostles, through the Gospel reading led by Ms. Murita Chua, certified CGS instructor of the Archdiocese. They reflected on the words uttered by the priest, simulating the different phases of the Mass. The younger ones became familiar with the articles of Mass, learning the terms used by the church for each one.
At the end of the afternoon, the altar servers came to the Saturday Mass, hopefully with a better appreciation of the ministry that they have committed themselves to.
