 Most Holy Trinity
Solemnity
Sunday, Jun. 3
Perhaps the deepest, the most profound of all mysteries is the mystery of the Trinity. The Church teaches us that although there is only one God, yet, somehow, there are three Persons in God. The Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God, yet we do not speak of three Gods, but only one God. They have the same nature, substance, and being. More

Premiere of new Salt+Light Documentary
 University students in B.C. don't have to wait hours to pass through checkpoints manned by armed soldiers. Thankfully, they don't have to put their studies on hold when a war breaks out.
By contrast, in the village where Christ was born, 3,000 students at Bethlehem University are confronted with such difficulties every day they try to get to class.
Read the full article at The BC Catholic.
On Sunday, Jun. 3, the Archdiocese of Vancouver will host the premiere of a Salt+Light HD documentary on Bethlehem University as it tries to contribute to a better future in the Holy Land. Click here for info and tickets.
