But this place ~ the sermons give you something to take home with you, the music/band/singers ~ excellent, all professionals. They combine current music with traditional. If you're looking for a place that's welcoming, caring, and provides services to the community... check it out.

I was kindly welcomed at a Sunday Choral Eucharist service. The clergy and volunteers welcomed everyone, members and visitors. Well-to-do and down-and-out. Healthy and ill. All ethnicities and orientations. Two rude visitors next to me yammered during the service, but a volunteer quietly and kindly reminded them to respectfully keep quiet.

The 11 am English liturgy is a small seed community. Fr. is patient but insistent on getting the music right and includes everyone in leading the chants. For all the mystery that is found in the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, he explains what is going on to make it accessible without sacrificing its beauty. The books are in English and Chinese, obviously a hat tip to the ethnic makeup of the neighbourhood. I can sense lots of growth potential here and look forward to seeing how things go months down the road when I return for another visit to Vancouver.

It was easy. The service booklets indicate with directional ticks above the words how to sing along. If the tick goes up, you sing one note higher; if it goes down, you sing one note lower. Fr. Richard Soo, SJ, is also a very engaging preacher and tells many funny stories. The hospitality after the service was marvelous. We were treated to some delicious sausages and coffee, and we had a wide-ranging conversation with the members. This parish is a gem waiting to be discovered.

Very convenient for the holiday traveler still wishing to attend mass. We actually went at the beginning of our cruise and at the end. They welcome out of town visitors which I'm sure make up a large portion of the attendees. Another reviewer mentioned that the communion lines are with the people on the sides proceeding to the front to a kneeler and and those entering down the center returning up the same way. Seemed a little congested so we went to the side. Hadn't received communion on a kneeler in over 30 years! There are a couple of homeless with their hats out before and after mass. This is not unusual as you are in the heart of a heavily populated city. The congregation is diverse and it's interesting to see so many Chinese at a Catholic mass...but it's Vancouver after all! Aided by great acoustics in this cathedral, the choir was fantastic.

I grew up believing that God was an angry old man with a white beard just waiting and watching for me to make a mistake and He would never, never forget it. The truth is God is a loving caring Father/Mother/Spirit/what ever you want to call that which I call God. He has a very short memory and is a forgiving God. Unity taught me that of which I am so grateful for. I've been going to Unity of New Westminster since 1990. Thank You Unity in Action for taking the action of a loving caring spiritual home for so many of us who now believe we are One in God
