REVIEW OF THE BASICS IF THE CATHOLIC FAITH / RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS: Have you ever thought about becoming Catholic? Have you been attending Mass with your spouse, a friend, or family member and would like to learn more about joining the faith and sharing in the full sacramental life of the Church or are you a faithful Catholic already and want a review of the basics of what it means to be Catholic? We will use the SYMBOLON – THE CATHOLIC FAITH EXPLAINED – a series to be used as the basis of small group discussions. We begin November 30th on Thursday evenings at 7:00 pm. To sign up contact adultfaith@stannsabbotsford.ca

The SYMBOLON series is described as follows: The Catholic Faith Explained is a vibrant, relevant and complete program to re-evangelize and reinvigorate your parish. The 20 compelling sessions of this bold series guide parishioners through the breadth and richness of their Catholic faith. Presented by some of the most trusted Catholic teachers in the world, this unique video and discussion experience will transform your life.

Our youth choir which plays at the 5pm Saturday Youth Mass is looking for members, especially singers!

If you or anyone you know would like to join and help us out please contact Kristen at youthministry@stannsabbotsford.ca.

We meet for practice at 4pm on Saturday and will be starting to have weekday practices as we approach the Christmas season.
