P ♰ C

Dear Catholic friends,
I am so happy to be able to share the list of Christmas services for the Diocese and so am sending this off to you today. https://www.rcdvictoria.org/events/2025-christmas-mass-times

We also have permission from Jean Allen, to include her reflections often found on the front of St Joseph the Worker’s bulletin, (see “the Wilderness Way” from Dec 9, 2025 by clicking here: https://parishconnections.ca/ )

At St Joseph the Worker, I have snipped this beautiful service I have been attending. The Geras family played the music last Friday.  (Advent Vespers are being led by a lay person):

As some of you cannot open attachments…see below the things we know about and you can also find them shortly here: https://parishconnections.ca/bulletin-board/

If you hear of, know of or can snap a picture of things going on in your Parishes, Catholic schools or hospitals, Pamela will be popping round to meet people in the New Year, (after 16 Jan). Some events we realize are for Parishioners only and we want to be respectful and are not data-mining your December bulletins; these offerings we have received ourselves from you (thank you!) or are from bulletins where we attend.  News from the Chancery is also shared on our website.

We also wish to regularize our communication to you in the New Year using our website and, you will be able to choose what, and how often you want to hear from us. More to come.

Have a wonderful Advent Season!

Pamela
