Friday, Sept 18, 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM, St Anthony's Parish Come as you are, Leave filled with His presence. All Are Welcome !

On the weekend of September 19/20, we will welcome the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate to be with us at all weekend masses: Fr. Charles Okeyo OMI, a young Kenyan Oblate and Fr. Ken Forster OMI who was one of the founding Oblate Missionaries serving in Kenya. This year the Oblates celebrate the 29th anniversary of their oblate kenyan mission. Pope Leo XIV held a private audience in Rome with the Oblate Congregation in February, 2026, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Papal Approbation of the Constitutions and Rules of the Oblates, originally approved by Pope Leo XII in 1826. The Oblates arrived in Canada in 1841 to share the gospel and fulfill the mandate to “Bring Good News to the Poor”. After each Mass, Fr. Charles and Fr. Ken will be available to respond questions; a brochure will be handed to every family with the hope that you might take it home and discern if your family would like to partner with the Oblates in this great missionary work. We thank those parishioners who already reach out in support of this mission!

Saturday October 3, from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Location : Pacific Academy in Surrey, BC The Upper Room conference, hosted by Proclaim, aims to inspire, equip, and send disciples to proclaim Jesus in their homes and communities. The Acts of the Apostles recount for us the moments of that first Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended on each of the apostles in the upper room. Filled with the Holy Spirit, they were sent forth, ready to proclaim. You too, whether you are new to following Jesus or a cradle Catholic, are sent into a particular mission in the places you find yourself Registration is open ! This year's theme is "Our Life is a Mission Field" Wherever God has placed you - at home, at work, with friends, or in everyday encounters, these are the places where we have the opportunity to make Christ known and help build His Kingdom.
