Blessed Sacrament Parish is delighted to once again host the Seniors’ Christmas Luncheon on Sunday, December 14th! Enjoy a delicious meal served by our youth preparing for Confirmation, along with festive music from the Blessed Sacrament School Choir. This event is by donation. Seniors who wish to attend are invited to call the parish office at 604-874-3636.

Envelopes for the Month of the Souls: The envelopes for Mass intentions for the November month of holy souls are available at the entrance of the church. Please write the name(s) and the preferred date on the envelope. Also, your phone number, so the Parish office can contact you and let you know what day the Mass will be offered. The suggested offering for one Mass is $10.
Pray for the Holy Souls: The Catholic Church dedicates the month of November to the holy souls in Purgatory. Praying for the faithful departed pleases God, who uses our prayers to help purify these souls in purgatory that He loves. Help yourself to one of the 30 Day of Prayers little books located at the church entrance.
Book of the Souls: As is traditional at Blessed Sacrament, the Book of prayer intentions for the souls of our departed ones will be available at the entrance of the church. You are welcome to write down the names of those to pray for in the book.

On December 31st, our Pastor, Father Gilbert Nunez, will joyfully celebrate the 25th Anniversary of his Priestly Ordination. In anticipation of this special milestone, our parish community will honor this beautiful gift of priesthood during the Seniors’ Lunch on Sunday, December 14th.
