Notre Dame Parish
He is Risen! Alleluia! Alleluia!!
Let us always bring to our minds and hearts 1John 4:9-11, 9,In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him. 10 In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also must love one another.
Yes, As Christians we are journeying together to build a loving relationship with Jesus, Our Lord, that He may bring us to the Father, in the power of the Spirit. We gather to praise and worship, we gather to build our parish in Love, and we work in that same Love to reach out to the wider community.
Notre Dame is part of the Diocese of Prince George, shepherded by Bishop Gerald Wiesner, O.M.I..
As part of the diocese we share in the diocesan vision: People of God, become who you are.
This vision is based on the four realities of:
1) PROCLAMATION of the WORD
We open our hearts to the Living Word of God, Jesus, by listening to the Word proclaimed.
On this site you will find pages and links to Fr. Mike's homilies, the daily scripture readings, and online reflections.
2) CELEBRATION of the community
We respond to a common message. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ calls our participation at the table of the Lord.
We celebrate through LiturgyOn the page relating to the mass you will find the Mass times, Reconciliation times,
and information on the various ministries relating to the Mass:
Servers
Lectors
Eucharistic Ministers
Music
Children's Liturgy
Integral to the celebration of the community is the process of preparing for the sacraments.
3) FORMATION of community
We gather around the Word. Through our baptism we enter into the community of believers.
God wants us to be in communion, in community.
Parts of the Body which interact with the wider community include:
Notre Dame School
The Catholic Womens' League
and the The Knight's of Columbus
4) SERVICE to the community and beyond
Nourished at the Table of the Lord, we are sent out to bring about the
transformation of the world. We reach out to others in service.
The Haiti projects.
This website reflects peoples involvement. It will help you to see the different areas of service and ministries in our parish, and it is an invitation to participate in one or more areas so that our parish may be a greater sign of the presence of the Risen Jesus.
Through whatever struggles and trials you face, remember always that God loves you with an infinite Love.
May God Bless You!
