Padre Pio spent many hours daily talking to God and listening to God talked to him through internal internal illuminations. He said it really did not matter if we talk to God all the time because it is only when we are quiet that God talks to us. Now I ask you where is it quiet enough for God to talk to you? You can come to the adoration chapel and in the peacefulness there he will speak to your heart, and you will return eagerly because he has so much to share with you. There are hours available but you can choose your own hour of convenience any day or night, call Emma at 604-266-1353.

Readers needed: A few dedicated readers for Sunday Masses, with summer and holidays we often have to double up. Call Mrs. Taylor at 604-261-0322
