Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

I pray that your Lenten Season has begun well and that it will be a source of many blessings for you and your family.

As Easter approaches, I want to assure you that the Archdiocese is taking decisive action to advocate with the Provincial Government for a safe return to in-person attendance at Mass.

I have also retained legal representation and have filed a court petition seeking an exemption from the health order restricting gatherings for worship and other religious services.

I would be grateful for your financial support of these initiatives.

It is my ardent hope that we can return from our extended “fast” from the Eucharist and join together to celebrate the Lord’s Resurrection this Easter.

With gratitude for your support of our brothers and sisters in need of your solidarity at this trying time, and with my prayers for your families during this holy season, I remain

Sincerely yours in Christ,

 J. Michael Miller, CSB
Archbishop of Vancouver
