I'm New to St. Mary, Chilliwack. Where Do I Start?

Welcome to St. Mary’s parish community.  We’re so glad you’ve decided to join us.  If you haven’t already, please say ‘hi’ to our parish priests, Father Wilfred and Father Juan the next time you stop by.  They would love to meet you.

The Church is open  Monday-Friday for private prayer during office hours (9:30am - 4:00pm). We have Confessions Monday-Saturday from 9:30-10:30am and Saturday from 4:00-4:45pm. We livestream daily Mass on our Youtube channel every day at 9:00am and Sundays at 10:00am. We are also currently celebrating three in-person Sunday Masses outside on due to COVID “public health restrictions”. We have a whole array of Christ-centered ministries to get involved with so please don’t hesitate to ask any of our volunteers or staff about ways to get connected. Please send us an email or give us a call if you have any questions.

Here at St. Mary’s we want to love God, to love one another, and to make the name of Jesus known!

A Christian community of love, driven to serve God and our neighbour

Mass: What to Expect

If you have never been to Mass before, or if you haven't gone in a long time, we are excited to have you join us as we celebrate and worship together. We understand that it may feel foreign at first, and that some parts might seem confusing. The last thing we would want is for you to feel unwelcome during the service, so we have created a little guide for you to help you understand the liturgy a little better.

Why go to mass? Sacraments

A Letter from Reverend Giovanni Schiesari

Welcome to our St. Mary's community!  We are glad you are here. Come by the Church to visit us and spend time with Our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Not only do we prayerfully rest with Our Lord, we actively work with Him in the building up of His Kingdom. We have various ministries available in the parish so please don’t hesitate to ask any of our parish staff members or volunteers about ways to get involved.

Here at St. Mary's Parish we want to love God, to love one another, and to make the name of Jesus Our Saviour known.
