Friday Report

 

Greetings!  

   

 

We're constantly asking ourselves how to make the Friday Report even better, and now we have the answer: a contest!

In order to get the Friday Report into many more homes, we're giving away copies of the Archdiocese of Vancouver 100th Anniversary Commemorative Book
(a $25 value) to the first 10 people who successfully forward this week's Friday Report to five friends.

So start forwarding! Use the button below so we can track the results. The 10 Winners will be notified by e-mail and are asked to pick up their prize here at the John Paul II Pastoral Centre, 150 Robson St., Vancouver.



Sincerely, 

Paul Schratz
Communications Director

 

FREEDOM 2012

Make plans to join us for FREEDOM, the original reconciliation event for youth and young adults offered by the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry on Friday, Mar. 16 at Good Shepherd Church in Surrey. All participants will experience first-hand the healing power of Christ through music, prayer, testimonies and teachings, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Good Shepherd Training

 

Certificate training is being offered to teach the Montessori-style faith formation program, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, for pre-school and kindergarten children. Weeklong (45 hours) program, March 17 to 24, 9:30 to 4:30 daily. Contact Murita Chua .
What people are saying about Theology of the Body:

"Wow, what a course! Of all the Catholic classes and courses I have taken in my life, this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. It is truly life changing."

- M.M. (St. Mary's)

 

"It feels like a light bulb got turned on, shedding new light in my life." - P.H. (St. Francis Xavier)

 

Sign up today for this amazing course, starting in April. More info here
