Bible Study. A 24-part course “The Bible Timeline” run by Fr Alessandro Lovato offers a deeper exploration of what was begun in our 8-week introductory course and will challenge even those well-versed in Scripture.

Classes are Wednesday evenings 7:30 – 9:00 pm. in the Legion Hall (basement) from April 30 to June 18, breaking for the summer then September 3 to December 17. For drop-in sessions, please contact Fr Alessandro at vatoslovatos@hotmail.com or call 604-682-6774 ext 228.

 

RCIA. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the normal way in which adults become active members of the Catholic Church. The goal of the process is full communion which means conscious and active participation in the Eucharist and in the whole life of the Catholic faith community.

The RCIA helps adults to grow in their relationship with God, become familiar with Catholic teachings and practices, get acquainted with people in the parish and get involved in service within the parish or the wider community.

RCIA classes are held from September to May on Tuesdays 7:00-9:00pm in Holy Rosary Hall, 650 Richards Street. Contact the office for information regarding the next group.
