A lot of churches say “All are welcome.”

But what does that actually mean?

At St. Catherine’s, we mean that there is space here for:
questions,
doubts,
wondering,
healing,
grief,
joy,
families,
singles,
seekers,
longtime Christians,
and people who never imagined they might walk into a church.

We affirm and celebrate 2SLGBTQIA+ people.

We do not expect everyone to have everything figured out before arriving. We believe community begins with making space for one another as we are.

You can come as you are and belong as you're becoming.

If you had to put your deepest identity on a name tag, what would it say?

Our faith offers this simple answer:

Before anything we accomplish.
Before any title we hold.
Before any success or failure.

You are a beloved child of God.

One of the central claims of Christianity is that our deepest identity isn't something we earn — it's something we receive.

You are loved by God.

Prayer does not require perfect words.

Sometimes prayer looks like silence.
Sometimes gratitude.
Sometimes grief.
Sometimes questions.
Sometimes simply paying attention.

Over time, prayer can become more than a moment — it can become a posture we carry into everyday life.

A way of noticing.
A way of grounding ourselves.
A way of remembering that we are not alone.

You do not need certainty to begin praying.

🌱 Faith isn’t something we have to have all figured out.

Like a garden, it grows over time—with curiosity, community, prayer, and grace.

Whether you’re exploring Christianity for the first time, returning after years away, or simply looking for a place to belong, you’re welcome at St. Catherine’s.

Come as you are.
Grow with us.



Questions about faith? We’d love to chat. Send us a message or join us this Sunday at 10:00 a.m.

Why do Anglicans value communion so deeply?

Because at the heart of our faith is Jesus.

In the Eucharist, we gather around Christ's table to remember his life, death, and resurrection, just as Christians have done for centuries.

Through bread and wine, prayer and community, we encounter God's grace and are reminded that Christ is with us.

The Eucharist is one of the ways God nourishes us for the journey of faith — drawing us closer to God and to one another.

It is both a gift and a mystery, celebrated week after week in communities around the world.

Summer can sometimes open space for us to slow down a little.

To notice sunlight through trees.
To linger over conversations.
To walk near water.
To breathe more deeply.

Christian spirituality is not only found inside church buildings. God also meets us in ordinary moments:
shared meals,
gardens,
quiet mornings,
grief,
laughter,
wonder,
and rest.

This summer, may you find moments of peace and renewal — and may you know that you are deeply loved by God.

If you’ve never been to an Anglican church service before, it can feel a little mysterious at first.

So what actually happens on a Sunday morning?

⛪ We gather together
We begin by welcoming one another, singing, praying, and becoming present together.

📖 We listen to scripture
Each week we hear readings from the Bible — stories, poetry, teachings, and reflections from across the Christian tradition.

🎙️ We hear a sermon
A sermon is a reflection that connects scripture, faith, and everyday life.

🕊️ We pray together
For the world, our communities, those who are struggling, and one another.

🍞 We share communion
Around the table, we remember the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and receive bread and wine as signs of grace and God’s presence among us.

✨ We are sent back into the world
To love our neighbours, seek justice, and continue living out our faith in ordinary life.

You do not need to understand everything before you come. Curiosity is welcome here too.

At St. Catherine’s, we believe every person is made in the image of God and deeply beloved.

We affirm and celebrate 2SLGBTQIA+ people as full and valued members of the Body of Christ — not despite who they are, but as part of the beautiful diversity of God’s creation.

We know that many people have experienced exclusion, silence, or harm from churches and religious communities. We grieve that reality, and we remain committed to becoming a safer, more truthful, and more loving community.

Who you are is not a barrier to God’s love.

Whether you’ve been part of church your whole life, left long ago, or are simply curious — you are welcome here.

If you’ve ever worried about “doing church wrong,” you’re not alone.

You do not need to know when to stand, sit, cross yourself, sing, respond, or receive communion.

You do not need to have everything figured out.

In Anglican worship, some prayers are spoken together, some are sung, and some moments are held quietly in silence. People participate in different ways, and that’s okay.

You’re welcome to simply observe.
You’re welcome to join in.
You’re welcome to come with questions.

The community carries one another.

Come as you are, and make space to breathe, reflect, pray, wonder, or simply rest for a while.

This Sunday, on National Indigenous Peoples Day, the Anglican Church of Canada also observes the National Indigenous Day of Prayer.

This is a day of prayer, gratitude, truth-telling, listening, and reflection.

We give thanks for the cultures, languages, wisdom, leadership, and spiritual traditions of Indigenous peoples across these lands.

We also acknowledge the ongoing impacts of colonization and the harm churches — including the Anglican Church — have caused through residential schools and other systems of oppression.

Reconciliation is not a finished project or a statement we make once. It is ongoing work that calls us toward truth, relationship, justice, humility, and change.

This weekend, we pray:

“Creator God, from you every family in heaven and earth takes its name. You have rooted and grounded us in your covenant love, and empowered us by your Spirit to speak the truth in love, and to walk in your way towards justice and wholeness.

Mercifully grant that your people, journeying together in partnership, may be strengthened and guided to help one another to grow into the full stature of Christ, who is our light and our life. Amen."

May we continue the work of listening deeply, speaking truthfully, and walking together toward healing and right relationship.
