THIS SATURDAY: EUCHARISTIC EVENT 2006
This week, the Archdiocese of Vancouver will be hosting a monstrance blessed by Pope John Paul II; and it will travel throughout the Archdiocese of Vancouver to help the faithful pray for the family, and for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Join us this Saturday evening from 7:30pm - 9:30pm at St. Joseph's Parish in Langley for a special Eucharistic Adoration Evening for Youth. Thus, those of you attending seminars can grab a quick bite and be in Langley already for the evening. You may recall that St. Joseph's Parish was home to the first ever Source event in 2004, so it's fitting that this once-in-a-lifetime event will take place there! There will be special presentations as part of the program before we worship Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.
