We’re Fishing for Volunteers!
Salmon BBQ Fishing, that is
It’s that time of year again where we’re looking ahead to our annual Salmon BBQ in September. As you can appreciate, the success of any event is measured in many ways. However, a large part of that is attributed to the contribution of volunteers’ time, efforts, etc.
If you’re interested in helping with our parish event, please attend our 1st meeting which will be held on this Monday, June 24th at 6:30pm in the parish basement. We look forward to seeing you there!

HOLY CROSS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL REUNION
It is with great pleasure that we can confirm that there will be a reunion for those of us who attended Holy Cross School in North Burnaby in the 1960s. The event will be held on Saturday October 19, 2024. It will commence with an optional tour of Holy Cross School from 10:30-11:30 AM. Following this, a luncheon/reception will be held at the Burnaby Mountain Golf Course Clubhouse from Noon to 4:00 PM. The cost for the event is $65.00.
The good news is that we obtained enough response (almost fifty people) who have already committed and paid. Our room at the golf course can accommodate more. Therefore, if you would like attend or know someone who might – we would love to have you join us. In order for us to confirm final numbers with the Clubhouse restaurant, we will need you to your confirm your attendance and submit your payment by August 31, 2024.
Please contact one of the organizing committee members if you have any questions or to provide details and payment. The Organizing Committee members are: Wayne Shalagan email: wshalagan@gmail.com; Debra Quercetti email: lingrace@telus.net; Sheila (Moodie) McMillan email: mdesigns@shaw.ca; Joanne MacDonald email: jmacdonald2010@shaw.ca; and Alice (MacDonald) Spencer email: amspencer@shaw.ca.
