Healing and Reconciliation Collection

Sunday | Sept 14th | Sunday Collection

Archbishop Smith asks everyone to support the Healing and Reconciliation Collection on September 14. The projects supported by this collection are shaped locally in partnership with First Nations communities. These initiatives are helping Indigenous peoples embrace their identity through language revitalization, cultural knowledge, and wellness. These projects connect individuals who might otherwise feel isolated and help ensure that those who have often faced discrimination can access healthcare and other services with dignity and respect.

Upper Room Conference 2025

Saturday | Sept 20th | Pacific Academy, Surrey

Saturday | Sept 27th | Local Gatherings

The Upper Room Conference is for those who long to see the Gospel take root in their homes, parishes, and communities. Through inspiring talks, Spirit-led conversations, and parish-based follow-up gatherings, this two-part experience will help you clarify your personal call to evangelize and strengthen your impact in ministry. 

Join us on Saturday, September 20 at Pacific Academy in Surrey and again for local gatherings on Saturday, September 27 as we grow together in faith and mission.
