The university academic year may be done but Holy Cross Chaplaincy, our campus ministry team, are still serving up some great events for students over the summer.  Check out the details below:

This year, Divine Mercy Parish is celebrating a significant milestone: the 100th Anniversary of the official opening of St. Andrew Church in Eastern Passage in 1926. Since 1850 (176 years) the presence of St. Andrew Church and congregation has been a cornerstone of the Eastern Passage-Cow Bay community, providing a place of worship, fellowship, celebration, support, and a variety of outreach programs. As we reflect on our history, we recognize that the dedication of former parishioners, clergy, and religious, played a significant role in shaping the former parish of St. Andrew, now Divine Mercy Parish. Divine Mercy Parish invites all to join us for Holy Mass at St. Andrew Church on one or all of these dates:

Dying with Christ – Living with Hope is a faith-filled program that speaks to one of the most important topics of our human experiences. Led by theologians and Christian healthcare professionals, this series offers meaningful insight into suffering, grief, dying, the duty to care, and how we can enter more deeply into the Christian hope of dying with Christ.

The Christian Medical and Dental Association of Canada (CMDA) is offering two live online opportunities to participate in this three-session series. Participants will not only experience the program firsthand but will also be equipped to bring it to their own communities, parishes, and ministry settings. A chance to bring Christ’s message of hope to our world.

Summer 2026 Online Series Options:

• Mondays, August 10, 17, and 24 at 1:00 PM AT
• Thursdays, September 10, 17, and 24 at 8:00 PM AT
