With great joy, as we celebrate the Birthday of Jesus, Our Lord, on behalf of St. Matthew’s Parish, together with Father Rich, Father Marian, and Deacon Steve, I would like to wish everyone and your family a happy, peaceful and Blessed Christmas Season! As we welcome the Infant Jesus into our hearts at Christmas, let us keep Our Lord with us always and allow Him to guide us throughout the New Year!

Based on the most recent diocesan census, St. Matthew’s has become the biggest parish in the Archdiocese of Vancouver with the most attendance for Sunday Masses! It’s a great news, showing that our parish is growing, active, and fully alive!

We would like to thank you all for your love, prayers, and generous support to our parish throughout this past year. In particular, we, at the rectory, are very grateful for all the Christmas cards, food, gifts that many have sent us over this holiday.

May the Infant Jesus bless everyone with the fullness of life, peace, joy, happiness, and good health during this Christmas Season and throughout the New Year 2026.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Yours in Christ,
Frs. Tien Tran, Rich Conlin, Marian Korzeniowski, and Dcn. Steve Potusek
