What can Individuals and Parishes do to Assist Refugees?
The Catholic Refugee Sponsors’ Council brings together personnel from a number of diocesan and other Catholic offices involved in refugee sponsorship to assist in providing coordination, advocacy and information for Catholic refugee sponsoring organizations. Its website is https://catholicrefugeesponsors.wordpress.com/.
Several Catholic agencies are involved in directly assisting Syrian and other refugees and displaced persons.

Youth Ministry
We are lucky to have Clay Imoo, Director of Young and Young Adult Ministry for the Archdiocese of Vancouver joining us October 15-19 for youth leaders training throughout the diocese. Clay has 13 years of experience in his current role and many more years of youth ministry experience prior to this. We will be spending time traveling throughout the diocese during this time to offer training to those involved in catechesis & youth ministry. If you have ideas, suggestions, or date requests for your parish & deanery, please contact Eunice at youth@pgdiocese.bc.ca.
WORLD YOUTH DAY 2016 – If anyone 18+ is interested in joining the Prince George diocesan group to WYD Poland, please email youth@pgdiocese.bc.ca. We will have regional information sessions throughout September and October. Stay tuned!
Monthly Day of Adoration
Emmanuel Hermitage invites you to a Personal Date with Jesus on October 13, 2015 in the Domano Chapel, 6500 Southridge Ave. Mass will be celebrated at 7:30 a.m. and the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. for a day of silent prayer and adoration. We will pray for the people and needs of our Diocese, the universal Church, and the world. In particular we will pray for the protection of all human life, for vocations, and for the intentions of those participating in the day. Please mark your calendar on the second Tuesday of each month for Personal Dates with Jesus days.
