Family of the Month Program
The Blessed Sacrament Council 18018 of the Knights of Columbus is starting their Family of the Month Program for our Parish. This program promotes and supports the development of strong and vibrant families that model Christian family values, participate in Sunday Mass and volunteer in parish ministries and activities. You are invited to nominate any deserving family of the Parish for this recognition by the deadline at the end of each month. Every second Sunday of the month at the 9:30 a.m. Mass, Fr. Gilbert Nunez will present the Family of the Month Certificate of the previous month to the recipient family. A family has been chosen for July. To nominate a family, email: blessed18018@gmail.co or myrnabondocgonzales@gmail.com; or text 604-809-5784 or 778-773-2623.
