Advent Family Night
The youth groups will be hosting their annual Advent Family Night on Monday, December 2! All families, whether their children are youth group members or not, are invited to join in to celebrate the start of this beautiful liturgical season. The evening will run from 7:00-8:30pm in the Parish Centre and will include a dramatic presentation by the youth group leaders, music, prayer, a craft, and games. There is no cost to participate. Please contact Wes by Monday, November 25 if you would like to attend.
Christmas Pageant
This Christmas Eve our annual Christmas pageant will be taking place once again before the celebration of the 5pm Mass! The pageant is a short silent play about the birth of Jesus. This year we will also be introducing a new addition to the evening – the story of St. Boniface and the first Christmas tree, written by our own Fr. Claude, which will precede the pageant itself.
Students in Grades 3 – 7 are invited to sign up as readers and actors, and will also have the opportunity to take part in the Mass as readers and gift bearers. Rehearsals will start at the beginning of December. The sign-up form is below. Forms must be returned to the church office by Friday, December 6.
Please consider being part of the pageant this year and sharing your talents with the church community as we celebrate the birth of our Saviour together!!

The main goals of the youth groups are to assist the students participating to:
- Develop and nurture their personal relationship with God
- Explore and deepen their knowledge of the Catholic faith
- Build Christ-centred friendships with other students as well as with older student and adult mentors from the parish community
Each gathering will focus on a different topic and include activities such as:
- Videos
- Praise & Worship music
- Interactive prayer experiences
- Sharing and discussion time in small groups
- Games
- Crafts
- Drama
There will also be several events for the whole family, as well as opportunities for community service, throughout the year.
