Weekly Highlights: Feb. 20-25
I hope you are enjoying this extra-long weekend. It was wonderful to join with other Catholic educators at the annual conference in Vancouver. I know that a highlight for me and other staff members was seeing some of our Indigenous family members, the Pilalt Warriors, drum, sing and dance on the opening day.
THANK YOU
to Mrs. Tyzio, some staff helpers, and a team of student helpers, for hosting a breakfast for our parish seniors on Monday. It is so good to keep those connections to the parish.
to Mrs. Olivares, the Grade 5/6 class and other adult helpers for putting on a very fun and delicious pancake breakfast on Shrove Tuesday.
INFORMATION
the parish has Friday evening Lenten devotions including Stations of the Cross at 6:30 p.m., followed by Mass at 7:00 p.m. All are encouraged to attend.
