#Repost @archvancouver Today, Archbishop Michael celebrates the 17th anniversary of his episcopal Ordination. His leadership has been a great gift to our local Church, especially during this time of pandemic. Our chief shepherd’s prayerful support and tireless collaboration with our priests and lay leaders has given life to the words, Church never stops. Let us pray with thanksgiving for his ministry to the faithful of Vancouver. May he, through the intercession... of St. Basil, and in the words of his episcopal motto, continue to Serve the Truth. Let us offer to God our sincere thanks for Archbishop Michael, and for the selflessness with which he serves the Archdiocese of Vancouver. Please pray for our Archbishop as he celebrates the anniversary of his episcopal Ordination: that the Holy Spirit will strengthen him in his ministry as a messenger of the Gospel.

Where there is hope, there is faith. Where there is faith, miracles happen.

Basketball season is back in full swing for all grades at SJB! While the current regulations don't allow for games, our athletes are still getting plenty of time on the court practicing drills, conditioning and playing grade-level scrimmages. Go Bears!

Reminder- it's early dismissal today! Students will be dismissed at 1. Busses will be running as normal.
