The three Catholic Christian Outreach missionaries will invite students into faith studies and I will offer an RCIA for students as our Catholic Stu-dent Association council prepares to greet newcom-ers. We’ll be planning on our annual Fall Retreat at Thetis Island’s Pioneer Pacific Camp September 29-Oct 1st and anticipate about 40 joyful young adults deepening their faith, their hope and their love. For a personal contact once on campus please direct students to Fr. Dean, or CCO team leader Chantal Cote [email protected], or CSA President Ada Loewen [email protected] We look forward to another year where students maintain and deepen their knowledge and love of the Catholic faith and their vo-cation to serve Christ and the world he loves.”
