VIP Sessions

These are informal inquiry sessions for Catholic men (over 17 years old) who have questions about the vocation to the priesthood. We invite any man to join us as we continue to explore the gift and call of the priesthood in this new millennium. The meeting are held on the first Sunday of every month at St. Andrew Parish at 480 E. 47th Ave., Vancouver, BC at 7:30 pm. For more information, please call Fathers Hien Nguyen or Tom Smith at (604) 443-3254. Your questions are about Very Important People; that makes your questions Very Important to us.
