SACRAMENTS OF RECONCILIATION, EUCHARIST AND CONFIRMATION 
Sacramental preparation for Reconciliation, First Eucharist, and Confirmation will begin soon. To register, sign-up sheet for each Sacrament is in the foyer or e-mail Fr. Rector at fr.rector@shcpg.ca.  

The ages or grade level for the reception of the Sacraments are as follows:

  • Grade 6 - Confirmation

If you know of someone who would like to become a Catholic and enter the process of the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (R.C.I.A), please let Fr. Rector know and he will meet with them to inform them of the process.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
If you are technologically gifted and interested to be part of those who are streaming live the Mass, please contact the parish office. We need you.

We are inviting any interested parishioner to assist in streaming the Mass live via Facebook.

Since the time of pandemic, Leonel Caunan and Dennis Roallos are the ones faithfully doing it. But we need more people to learn how to do it so that when they are not available, we will still have someone who can look after livestreaming.

Livestreaming our Sunday Masses helps those who are unable to come to Church i.e. homebound.
LITURGICAL FORMATION
This month of August, every Wednesday evening from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM, is another opportunity for Liturgical Formation at Sacred Heart Cathedral.

It is intended for those who want to be altar servers, readers, extraordinary ministers of communion and greeters at Mass. Father Rector welcomes anyone who is interested. This liturgical formation is also designed for those who are already fulfilling those ministries enumerated above.

In this Liturgical Formation, Father Rector will lead participants about active participation in the Liturgy. 
The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM) with emphasis on the two major parts of the Mass (The Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist), reverence, proper gesture, and posture at Mass will be read and discussed.


He will present the General Principles for the Liturgical Celebration of the Word of God and introduce participants to the different ritual books we use at Mass and other parish liturgies.

He will also present the Norms for Extraordinary Ministers of Communion and ways that those fulfilling this ministry can assist the priest in visiting the sick and the homebound.

In the aspect of hospitality, he will share Scripture passages related to the importance of providing hospitality for those who attend Mass especially Sunday Eucharist.

Ultimately, the goal is to provide formation, training, and workshop to everyone interested; so that those who fulfill different liturgical ministries will be knowledgeable in the Liturgy.   

The poster above has the specific dates assigned for each ministry. Participants from other parishes are welcome. To register, please e-mail liturgy@shcpg.ca or phone Sacred Heart Cathedral Parish office 250-564-5225.
VISIT TO THE HOMEBOUND 
Fr. Rector tries his best to regularly visit Catholic residents of Fort George Manor (Thursday) and Simon Fraser Lodge (Friday). If you have family members that you want Fr. Rector to visit, please inform him by calling the parish office.  During the visit, Fr. Rector celebrates Liturgy of the Word with Communion. At the request of the residents, he also listens to their confessions and of course, if needed, the Anointing of the Sick.
