Nominations from the parish are now being accepted for the Order of the Diocese of New Westminster. 

The purpose of the order is to give special recognition to lay members who have given outstanding service over a significant period of time in their volunteer ministry. If you would like to nominate someone in the parish, nomination forms are available from the office.

Next Saturday, Feb. 19, the BC Synod of the Lutheran Church is hosting "Lutheran Young Adults for Climate Justice", a chance to hear from three young adults who experienced the most recent COP (Conference of Parties), an international convention focused on climate change action. 

With COVID restrictions lifted somewhat by then, our hope is to gather together Saturday morning at 9:30 to watch this event, chat about it, share a meal, and spend some time outside together. I hope you can join us!

The annual meeting of Vestry will take place on Sunday, February 20th at 12pm via Zoom.

This is for members of St. Catherine's.
