Children’s Liturgy Volunteers are needed
Do you enjoy working with children and sharing your Catholic faith? We are seeking volunteers to help with our Children’s Liturgy (CL) program during Sunday Mass. This is a wonderful opportunity to support the spiritual growth of our young parishioners and make a meaningful difference in their faith journey.
No teaching experience is necessary. Resources & guidance will be provided.
If you feel called to serve in this ministry, please contact Lucy Sousa, CL Coordinator, at 604-315-5599. Please and thank you.

Pathway Girls Club Grades 3-5
How do we help our daughters to grow in confidence, courage, kindness, and leadership while building meaningful friendships?
Pathways Girls’ Club is designed to do exactly that. This is not just another activity — it is a space where girls can develop their character, strengthen friendships, and learn the virtues that will help them navigate life’s challenges.
Holy Cross will be hosting the Pathways Girls Leadership Club beginning October 2026 to May 2027. Girls will grow in virtue, friendship, and leadership through engaging activities, including arts & crafts, drama, games, discussions and service. The club will meet one Saturday morning each month from October 2026 to May 2027.
