🙏 SJYYA Lenten Retreat Recap

On Sunday night, we gathered at St. Joseph’s Parish for a night of faith, vulnerability, and genuine encounter with Christ. Fr. Davide appreciated every question brought to the Q&A session, answering each one with warmth and wisdom. 💜

Thank you to everyone who attended! We hope you left with a renewed spirit, especially as we approach the final days of Lent and the beginning of His passion.

📸 A warm thank you to for these beautiful photos!

About Father Davide
Fr. Davide Lanzani is currently the Rector of the Redemptoris Mater Seminary in Vancouver, which operates under the Neocatechumenal Way. He also teaches at the Seminary of Christ the King in Mission and holds a License in Missiology and a License in Dogmatic Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, his hometown.

Question Submission Instructions
As young people, we oftentimes carry burdens we ought not to - anxiety over our grades or career, social comparisons, and worldly attachments that quietly shape our lives. In the verse above, St. Paul reminds us that Christ sets us free if we allow Him to. So what's stopping you? What worries burden you? What's holding you back from your potential — from fully belonging to Christ?

📥Submit your questions regarding spiritual freedom with the form in our bio, as well as any other questions that may guide us on our journey to Christ.
