Project Advance 2026 Appeal
This annual Appeal provides critical funding to key ministries and projects, not only in the Archdiocese of Vancouver, but also in our very own parish. Our Archdiocesan goal for the current year is $60,000; however, we are hoping to raise $100,000.
The funds generated above our diocesan goal will help us:
- Pay off our loan (which is $2,457,000). This loan was taken to help us pay for the seismic upgrade and renovations of our school. Our monthly payment is $25,000.
- Support our Youth Ministry
- Support our Alpha Program
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.
Father Chris’s annual vacation
Fr. Chris will be on vacation from May 11 to May 29 visiting with his family.
New Gloria
As you know, we have been singing a new Gloria (from the Mass of St. Ann) since Easter Sunday, and we want to encourage the congregation to sing along too.
We are unable to provide the music for the pews; however, here is the YouTube link to the Glory to God which you can listen to:
The lyrics are what is in the Sunday missal.

The next Youth group is on Thursday May 7th in the Gym from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Join us for a bible study and open gym. Open for Grades 8-12. All are welcome! Register here! Holy Cross Youth Ministry 2026 Intake Form
