Order your soul;

reduce your wants;

live in charity;

associate in Christian community;

obey the laws;

trust in Providence.

~Augustine

Here is the link to the letter and the prayer

The Reverend Marnie Peterson, Rector of St. Anne’s, Steveston was one of the presiders at an Ecumenical service held on January 19, 2022.  Fr. Robert Wong, SJ of St. Monica's, Catholic Church in Richmond, the host parish, preached on the theme, “We saw the star in the East, and we came to worship him” (Matthew 2:2)

On Sunday, January 23, 2022, the Right Reverend John Stephens made the first visit of his episcopacy to his Parish of St. Agnes’ located in the Grand Boulevard neighbourhood of North Vancouver.

COVID-19 and the restrictions have been hard on us all, but even in these trying times God provides us with hope and relief. For me it has been adding Daily Morning Prayer to my routines. I find strength and encouragement by starting my day in this way.

As we continue to live in the uncertainty and unpredictability of this pandemic, please know of my ongoing prayers for all of you. Please also know of my gratitude for all the hard work you continue to do to ensure that worship and the activities of each parish are done as safely and carefully as possible. 

"A missional church is a community of people who look outward and are able to connect with others that are not already members of a church organization"
