KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS – PANCAKE BREAKFAST
Please join us for the last pancake breakfast of the year in the Gym this Sunday June 2nd after 8am, 10am, and 12pm mass.
EUCHARISTIC PROCESSION this SUNDAY JUNE 2ND at 2:30 pm
Come join us this Sunday (Corpus Christi Sunday) for Holy Cross’s annual Eucharistic Procession. This Eucharistic Procession is our parish’s continuing response to Archbishop Michael Miller’s desire for Eucharistic renewal.
Starting with the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 2:30 p.m. in the church, we will then walk the perimeter of the school grounds and a few blocks into the adjacent neighbourhood. We will then return to the church and finish with Benediction. The entire event should take approximately one hour.
First Communion children are encouraged to participate at the place of honour in the Procession. Please wear your First Communion outfit or something white. Please meet at 2pm at the entrance.
To celebrate this special feast day of Corpus Christi, the CWL invites us to join them for refreshments in the Gym after the Procession.
A plenary indulgence is available for the faithful who participate in a Eucharistic Procession on the Feast of Corpus Christi.
Second Collection: Catholic Missions in Canada
This weekend’s second collection supports the work of missionaries in communities throughout our country that are in need. Your tax-deductible gift will make a difference in proclaiming the Gospel and helping the Church thrive in small, remote areas where resources are scarce.
June 22 – Sons of The Father: Christianity and Authentic Manhood
On Saturday, June 22, all men are invited to an evening of fellowship, food and formation with special guests Brett Powell (Archbishop’s Delegate for Development and Ministries), Ed Zadeiks (Alpha Canada) and orthopaedic surgeon (and father of four) Dr. Tim Kostamo.

6:30pm – Talk (Brett Powell)
7:00pm – Panel discussion (Brett Powell, Ed Zadeiks, Dr. Tim Kostamo)

PROJECT ADVANCE 2024 APPEAL:
This annual Appeal provides critical funding to key ministries and projects, not only in the Archdiocese of Vancouver, but in our very own parish as well. Our Archdiocesan goal for the current year is $58,200; however, we are hoping to raise $100,000 to help further our evangelizing mission and upgrade spaces for devotion and learning here at Holy Cross.
For example: This year, we piloted the program “Alpha for Men”, which proved to be highly successful and very well received. Consequently, we are planning to run another “Alpha” in the beginning of 2025, this time opening it to all adults; thus furthering and enhancing evangelization in our parish community.
You can contribute to Project Advance online at projectadvance.ca or by phone at 604-299-3814, or in-person at our parish office. Building and forming our parish community is only possible with your donation. We are most grateful for your ongoing support.
