Ministry Updates & Upcoming Events
This Remembrance Day, November 11, our parish family unites in prayer and quiet gratitude to honour the bravery and sacrifice of Canada's veterans and active service members. We remember with deep reverence those who gave their lives for peace and justice, as well as the families who carried the weight of their duty back home. As we wear our poppies, let us carry forward their legacy by remaining dedicated to peace, compassion, and reconciliation in our community and world. Lest we forget.

Authority is a pressing issue, especially in a time when there is so much uncertainty matched with an overabundance of information accompanied by moral, spiritual, and political claims. Church authority is nuanced and is difficult to grasp, particularly when it is conceived through the prism of politics. Church authority, in its proper sense, needs to be understood theologically. Join Dr Andrew Kaethler as he theologically explores authority, obedience, the conscience, infallibility, and other aspects that are related to Church authority.
