Rosary for Peace with Archbishop Smith: May 2
Archbishop Richard Smith invites all Catholics in the Archdiocese of Vancouver to come together in prayer each month for peace in our world, particularly in the Middle East, Ukraine, and other areas affected by violence and conflict. As Christians, one of the most powerful ways we can call for peace is through prayer. The next rosary is on Saturday, May 2 at 11:00 AM at Holy Rosary Cathedral, or
