Langley, British Columbia
Confirmations - March 13, 2004


During his first visit to Canada, His Excellency Bishop de Galarreta honoured us with a visit for confirmations. We were all impressed by his gentle mannerism and inspiring words for those about to be confirmed. He was assisted in his visit by Fr. Jean Violette, District Superior in Canada, and Frs. Boulet and Herkel, pastors to the Langley church. Br. Lefebvre from Vernon, B.C. and Sr. Mary Catherine of the SSPX oblates (a vocation of this parish) were also present. It was the first time that our humble parish had seen so many religious together at once. What a consolation!
