Holy Week Missions 2024 in Calgary saw 60 youth registered and a total of 82 participants in the Youth Track. The youth participated in a week of activities, adoration, corporal works of mercy, street missions, liturgies and formative talks. At the end of the Easter Vigil there was a potluck dinner and dance to wind up an amazing week of coming closer to our Lord throughout his Passion. Several youth committed to deepening their relationship with Christ and to continuing monthly missions throughout the year.
In the family track, 14 families registered with a total of 60 participants. The families were commissioned on Palm Sunday and completed home activities throughout the week, finishing up with a full day Mission on Holy Saturday that included a Cross Walk and door to door missions along with games and crafts and a formative talk for the adults.
In the Young Adult Mission, 18 young adults participated in a one-day mission that included a formative talk, missionary training, street missions handing out hot chocolate and homemade cookies to those experiencing homelessness, a Cross Walk in which they collected prayer intentions, and an evening meal.
