Holy Cross Chaplaincy at UBC: Archive

Welcome Back!

And another new school year has begun… Welcome back! My intent is to continue the chaplaincy services this year if there are enough people interested in finding a time and place where we can all pray together. Thoughts, ideas, and schedules should be sent to discussion {at} holycrosschaplaincy.org so we can begin to coordinate, if possible! Looking forward to seeing you again! Love in...

Thanks for a Great Year!

It’s hard to believe that the school year is already drawing to a close. It was a great blessing to see the chaplaincy grow this year not so much in numbers, but very much in diversity! The move to the Regent College prayer room was also a blessing - while not as splendid as St. Mark’s, it was a good match for this year’s less formal (and less numerous) prayers and discussions. ...

The Chaplaincy, Re-imagined

We are now meeting regularly in the Regent College Prayer Room at 3pm on Fridays for a brief time of prayer (the Ninth Hour) and for fellowship. Feel free...

Re-imagining the chaplaincy

Those who have visited the Holy Cross Chaplaincy site of late will have noticed that it’s been quite a while since anything new was posted here. The hiatus has been due to two factors… (1) an over-busy chaplain, and (2) the natural cycle of graduation and departure. Fortunately, there is a third factor at play here: the natural cycle of new students starting their post-secondary...

We are having compline tomorrow night (Tuesday), at 7 pm. I at least will also be at Regent for supper beforehand, at about 5:30 pm, so join us for that too. However, our location is changing. We are not in the chapel anymore, but will be meeting in the Community Room, which is on the third floor of the main St. Mark’s College building. If you get lost, just give a shout, and...
